THE  LORD'S  PRAYER 

Matthew  vi.  9-13. 

Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven : 

Hallowed  be  thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is 
in  heaven.  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  for- 
give our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil :  For 
thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever.     Amen. 


THE   APOSTLES'  CREED 

I  believe  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven  and  earth : 
And  in  Jesus  Christ  his  only  Son  our  Lord  ;  who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy 
Ghost;  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary  :  suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate  ;  was  crucified,  dead, 
and  buried  ;  the  third  day  he  rose  from  the  dead  ;  he  ascended  into  heaven  ;  and 
sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty ;  from  thence  he  shall  come  to 
judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost  ;  the  holy  Catholic  Church,  the  Communion  of 
Saints;  the  Forgiveness  of  sins;  the  Resurrection  of  the  body  ;  and  the  Life  ever- 
lasting.    Amen.

XTbe  ©rfcer  for  tbe  Bbmtntetratton  of  tbe  XotD's  Supper 

1  (Many  of  our  churches  occupy  the  whole  period  of  morning  worship,  when  the  Lord's  Supper  is 
administered,  with  this  service.  It  has  thus  become  desirable  to  have  the  service  arranged  for  use  as  a 
vantinuous  service.  But  as  the  Committee  had  no  authority  to  revise  the  ritual,  what  has  been  added 
das  been  enclosed  in  brackets  as  merely  advisory.) 

///  order  to  secure  a  more  uniform  and  respectful  observance  of  the  Lord's  Supper, 
it  is  earnestly  recommended  that  in  all  our  churches  there  shall  be  suitable  vessels 
for  use  in  the  administration  of  this  ordinance,  selected  by  the  stewards  or  other 
officers,  which  shall  be  used  for  this  purpose  only. 

The  Lord's  Supper  should  be  administered  at  least  once  a  month  in  Stations, 
and  as  often  in  Circuits  as  will  give  an  opportunity  to  all  the  members  of  par- 
taking once  a  quarter. 

On  these  solemn  occasions  let  there  be  no  hurry  —  no  confusion.  Let  meditation, 
prayer,  and  gratitude  to  God  for  the  unspeakable  gift  of  his  Sou,  occupy  every  soul. 

Let  those  who  have  scruples  concerning  receiving  the  Lord's  Supper  kneeling, 
be  permitted  to  receive  it  either  sitting  or  standing.

COMMANDMENTS    (in 


And  God  spake  all  these  words, saying, 

I.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  be- 
fore me. 

II.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any 
graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of  any 
thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth   beneath,  or  that  is  in  the 


water  under  the  earth :  thou  shalt  not 
bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them:  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jeal- 
ous God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me  ;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands 
of  them  that  love  me,  and  keep  my  com- 
mandments. 

III.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of 
the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain :  for  the  Lord 
will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh  his 
rame  in  vain.

IV.  Remember  the  Sabbath  day,  to 
keep  it  holy.  Six  days  shalt  thou  labor, 
and  do  all  thy  work:  but  the  seventh  day 
is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God:  in 
it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor 
thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  man- 
servant, nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy 
cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy 
gates:  for  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in 
them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day : 
wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath 
day,  and  hallowed  it. 


V.  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother : 
that  thy  days  may  be  long  upon  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

VI.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

VII.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

VIII.  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

IX.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness 
against  thy  neighbor. 

X.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's 
house,  thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's 
wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid- 
servant, nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  any 
thing  that  is  thy  neighbor's. 


Let  the  congregation  unite  in  singing  at  the  close  of  the  commandments 


LESSON  FROM  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT 


HYMN] 

On  the  day  appointed  for  the  celebra- 
tioti  of  the  Lord's  Supper  an  appropriate 
discourse  may  be  delivered ;  after  which 
a  collection  shall  be  taken  up  for  the 
relief  of  the  poor. 

While  the  Stewards  are  making  the 
collection,  let  the  minister  repeat  o?ie  or 
more  of  the  following  passages  : 

Let  your  light  so  shine  before  men  that 
they  may  see  your  good  works,  and  glo- 
rify your  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 


He  that  soweth  sparingly,  shall  also 
reap  sparingly  ;  and  he  that  soweth  boun- 
tifully, shall  also  reap  bountifully.  Let 
every  man  do  according  as  he  is  disposed 
in  his  heart ;  not  grudgingly,  or  of  neces- 
sity, for  God  loveth  a  cheerful  giver. 

Whoso  hath  this  world's  goods  and 
seeth  his  brother  have  need,  and  shutteth 
up  his  bowels  of  compassion  from  him, 
how  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him? 

Blessed  is  he  that  considered!  the  poor;

the  Lord  will  deliver  him  in  the  time  of 
trouble. 

As  we  have  therefore  opportunity,  let 
us  do  good  unto  all  men,  and  especially 
unto  them  who  are  of  the  household  of 
faith. 

Charge  those  who  are  rich  in  this  world, 
that  they  be  ready  to  distribute,  willing 
to  communicate:  laying  up  in  store  for 
themselves  a  good  foundation  against  the 
time  to  come,  that  they  may  lay  hold  on 
eternal  life. 

Read  Responsive ly : 

Minister:  Who  hath  believed  our  re- 
port? and  to  whom  is  the  arm  of  the 
Lord  revealed  ? 

Congregation  :  For  he  shall  grow  up 
before  him  as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a 
root  out  of  a  dry  ground  ;  he  hath  no 
form  nor  comeliness  ;  and  when  we  shall 
see  him,  there  is  no  beauty  that  we  should 
desire  him. 

Minister  :  He  is  despised  and  rejected 
of  men  ;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  acquainted 
with  grief  ;  and  we  hid  as  it  were  our 
faces  from  him:  he  was  despised,  and  we 
esteemed  him  not. 

Congregation  :  Surely  he  hath  borne 
our  griefs,  and  carried  our  sorrows;  yet 
we  did  esteem  him  stricken,  smitten  of 
God  and  afflicted. 

Minister:  But  he  was  wounded  for 
our  transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for 
our  iniquities;  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him,  and  with  his  stripes 
we  are  healed. 

Congregation  :  All  we  like  sheep  have 
gone  astray;  we  have  turned  every  one 
to  his  own  way ;  and  the  Lord  hath  laid 
on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

Minister:  He  was  oppressed,  and  he 
was  afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not  his  mouth ; 
he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter ; 
and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers  is 
dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

Congregation  :  He  was  taken  from 
prison  and  from  judgment,  and  who  shall 


declare  his  generation?  for  he  was  cut 
off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living;  for 
the  transgression  of  my  people  was  he 

stricken. 

Minister:  And  he  made  his  grave  with 
the  wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in  his  death  ; 
because  he  had  done  no  violence,  neither 
was  any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

Congregation  :  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord 
to  bruise  him;  he  hath  put  him  to  grief: 
when  thou  shalt  make  his  soul  an  offering 
for  sin,  he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  pro- 
long his  days,  and  the  pleasure  of  the 
Lord  shall  prosper  in  his  hands. — Isa. 
liii.  i-io. 

Then  shall  be  said  the  Apostles'  Creed 
by  the  minister  and  the  people,  at  their 
option,  standing: 

I  believe  in  God  the  Father  Almighty, 
maker  of  heaven  and  earth  ;  and  in  Jesus 
Christ  his  only  Son,  our  Lord  ;  who  was 
conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  born  of 
the  Virgin  Mary;  suffered  under  Pontius 
Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried. 
The  third  day  he  rose  from  the  dead  ;  he 
ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth  on  the 
right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty ; 
from  thence  he  shall  come  to  judge  the 
quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost ;  the  holy 
Catholic  Church,  the  communion  of 
saints  ;  the  forgiveness  of  sins;  the  resur- 
rection of  the  body  ;  and  the  life  everlast- 
ing.    Amen. 

Then  the  officiating  minister  shall  re- 
pair to  the  table,  uncover  the  elements, 
and  address  the  communicants  in  the 
following  words  : 

Dearly  beloved,  while  we  were  yet  sin- 
ners Christ  died  for  us,  and  became  the 
propitiation  for  our  sins,  and  not  for  our 
sins  only,  but  for  the  sins  of  the  whole 
world.  In  the  same  night  he  was  be- 
trayed he  did  institute  this  ordinance, 
and  commanded  his  followers  to  con- 
tinue the  same  in  commemoration  of  his 


14 


XTbe  SLorfc's  Supper 


death  until  he  come  again.  You,  there- 
fore, who  are  striving  to  walk  in  all  his 
commandments  blameless,  will  now  ac- 
company us  in  a  petition  to  the  throne  of 
grace,  that  we  may  worthily  commemo- 
rate the  death  and  passion  of  our  Lord 
and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ. 

Let  us  pray : 

Almighty  and  most  merciful  God,  we 
do  not  presume  to  approach  this  thy 
table  trusting  in  our  own  righteousness, 
but  in  the  blood  and  righteousness  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  We  are  not 
worthy,  O  Lord,  to  gather  up  the  crumbs 
from  under  thy  table,  for  we  have  sinned 
and  come  short  of  thy  glory  ;  we  have 
erred  and  strayed  from  thy  ways  like  lost 
sheep  ;  we  have  left  undone  those  things 
which  we  ought  to  have  done;  and  we 
have  done  those  things  which  we  ought 
not  to  have  done.  Have  mercy  on  us,  O 
God,  our  heavenly  Father;  forgive  our 
sins,  and  restore  unto  us  the  joy  of  thy 
salvation,  through  Jesus  Christ,  who  has 
redeemed  us  by  his  own  precious  blood. 
Grant  unto  us,  O  our  heavenly  Father, 
the  assistance  of  thy  Holy  Spirit,  while 
we  partake  of  these  thy  creatures  of 
bread  and  wine,  according  to  thy  Son, 
our  Saviour's  holy  institution,  in  grateful 
remembrance  of  his  death  and  passion, 
that  our  hearts  may  be  filled  with  love 
and  gratitude  for  the  unspeakable  gift  of 
thy  Son,  in  the  redemption  and  salvation 
of  our  souls.  May  we  be  melted  into 
tenderness  on  account  of  the  great  love 
wherewith  Christ  hath  loved  us  and  given 
himself  for  us.  May  we  ever  remember 
his  agony  and  bloody  sweat  in  the  gar- 
den of  Gethsemane;  his  cruel  mockings 
and  scourgings  in  Pilate's  Hall  and  his 
ignominious  death  on  the  cross.  May 
we  have  redemption  through  his  blood 
which  was  shed  for  the  remission  of  our 
sins;  and  being  justified  by  faith  in  him, 
be  filled  with  love,  have  grace  to  keep  all 
thy  commandments,  and  show  forth  the 
Lord's  death  till  he  come,  and  finally  be 


brought,  with  all  the  Israel  of  God,  to 
inherit  eternal  life  through  the  merits 
and  mediation  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ. 

Here  the  minister  may  partake  of  the 
elements  j  then  shall  be  said  the  Lord's 
-prayer. 

.Our  Father,  which  art  in  heaven,  hal- 
lowed be  thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come. 
Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in 
heaven.  Give  us  this  day  our  daily 
bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts  as  we 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not 
into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil. 
For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power, 
and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

Then  the  following  invitation  shall 
be  given  : 

Ye  that  do  truly  and  earnestly  repent 
of  your  sins,  and  are  in  love  and  charity 
with  your  neighbors,  and  intend  to  lead 
a  new  life  following  the  commandments 
of  God,  and  walking  from  henceforth  in 
his  holy  ways,  draw  near  in  faith,  and 
partake  of  this  ordinance  to  your  com- 
fort. 

The  minister  shall  then  distribute  the 
bread  to  the  communicants \  saying: 

The  body  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
which  was  given  for  thee,  preserve  thy 
body  and  soul  unto  everlasting  life.  Take 
and  eat  this  in  remembrance  that  Christ 
died  for  thee,  and  feed  on  him  in  thy 
heart  by  faith,  with  thanksgiving. 

While  the  minister  is  distributing  the 
bread  he  may  repeat  one  or  more  of  the 
following  passages  : 

God  so  loved  the  world  that  he  gave 
his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever 
believeth  in  him  should  not  perish,  but 
have  everlasting  life. 

God  sent  not  his  Son  into  the  world  to 
condemn  the  world,  but  that  the  world 
through  him  might  be  saved.

Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  loved  God, 
but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent  his  Son  to 
be  the  propitiation  for  our  sins.  If  God 
so  loved  us,  we  ought  also  to  love  one 
another. 

Christ  loved  the  church,  and  gave  him- 
self for  it.  If  ye  love  me,  keep  my  com- 
mandments. 

Not  every  one  that  saith  unto  me, 
Lord,  Lord,  shall  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  heaven;  but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of 
my  P'ather  which  is  in  heaven. 

Blessed  is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

The  minister  shall  likewise  take  the 
ttrine,  ci)id  give  to  each  communicant, 
saying  : 

The  blood  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
which  was  shed  for  thee,  preserve  thy 
body  and  soul-  unto  everlasting  life. 
Drink  this  in  remembrance  that  Christ's 
blood  was  shed  for  thee,  and  be  thankful. 

While  serving  the  wine,  the  minister 
may  repeat  one  or  more  of  the  following 
Passages  : 


If  we  confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful  and 

just  to  forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse 
us  from  all  unrighteousness. 

If  we  walk  in  the  light,  as  he  is  in  the 
light,  we  have  fellowship  one  with  an- 
other, and  the  blood  of  Jesus  Christ  his 
Son,  cleanseth  us  from  all  unrighteous- 
ness. 

Unto  him  that  loved  us,  and  washed  us 
from  our  sins  in  his  own  blood,  and  hath 
made  us  kings  and  priests  unto  God  and 
his  Father,  be  glory  and  dominion  for 
ever.     Amen. 

The  singing  of  an  appropriate  verse 
or  two  of  a  hymn  by  the  congregation 
might  be  so  timed  as  to  serve  for  a  signal 
to  those  who  have  com  mimed  to  rise  and 
retire  to  their  places  in  the  church,  and 
give  opportunity  for  the  remaining  com- 
municants to  repair  to  the  table. 

When  all  have  partaken,  the  service 
shall  be  concluded  with  extempore  prayer 
and  the  Apostolic  benediction. 


XTbe  ©rfcer  for  tbe  administration  of  baptism 


BAPTISM    OF    INFANTS 

Infant  baptism  should  be  administered 
monthly  in  all  our  churches,  and  oftener 
when  necessary. 

In  infant  baptism,  let  it  be  an  invariable 
rule  to  require  the  attendance  of  the 
parents  of  the  child,  unless  in  any  partic- 
ular case  the  minister  should  deem  such 
attendance  impracticable. 

Let  every  adult  person,  and  the  parents 
of  every  child  to  be  baptized,  have  the 
choice  of  sprinkling,  or  pouring,  or  im- 
mersion. 

Parents,  whose  children  have  been  bap- 
tized, should  attend  after  service,  and 
inform  the  minister  of  the  age  of  the 
child  or  children  baptized,  that  he  may 
enter  their  names  on  the  church  register. 

This  Church  disapproves  of  re-baptism. 


J  Then  the  child  to  be  baptized  is 
brought  before  the  minister,  he  shall  say 
to  the  parents  : 

Dearly  beloved,  you  are  now  about  to 
dedicate  your  child  to  the  service  of  the 
living  and  true  God,  who  hath  said  :  Be- 
hold, all  souls  are  mine  ;  as  the  soul  of 
the  father,  so  also  the  soul  of  the  son 
is  mine  ;  and  the  promise  of  acceptance 
and  salvation  is  to  you  and  your  chil- 
dren, and  to  all  that  are  afar  off.  By  this 
act  you  acknowledge  the  high  claim  of 
Almighty  God  to  the  life  and  services 
of  your  offspring,  and  your  own  obliga- 
tions to  the  Most  High,  to  your  infant, 
and  to  the  Church  of  Christ,  to  guide  its 
feet  into  the  paths  of  righteousness,  and 
to  raise  it  up  in  the  nurture  and  admoni- 
tion of  the  Lord.

JBaptism 


You  will  need  all  the  wisdom  and 
grace  you  can  acquire  to  enable  you  to 
discharge  this  your  imperative  duty ;  we 
therefore  exhort  you  to  pray  to  God  con- 
stantly so  to  enlighten  your  minds  and 
influence  your  hearts  that  you  may  be 
enabled  by  precept  and  example  to  lead 
your  children  in  the  true  and  right  way ; 
and  induce  them  to  glorify  God  in  their 
souls  and  bodies,  which  is  their  reason- 
able service. 

Do  you  now  solemnly  promise  that  you 
will  diligently  endeavor,  by  precept  and 
example,  to  bring  up  this  child  [or  these 
children]  in  the  nurture  and  admonition 
of  the  Lord,  and  that  you  will  earnestly 
pray  to  God  for  the  assistance  of  his 
Holy  Spirit,  that  you  may  effectually  do 
the  same  ? 

Let  us  pray : 

Almighty  and  most  merciful  God, 
Father  of  our  spirits,  Former  of  our 
bodies,  Redeemer  and  Saviour  of  our 
souls,  we  thank  thee  that  thou  hast  made 
it  our  privilege  to  dedicate  our  children  to 
thy  service,  that  they  may  be  lively  mem- 
bers of  the  Church  of  Christ  and  heirs  of 
eternal  life. 

We  beseech  Thee,  O  our  Heavenly 
Father,to  bestow  upon  the  parents  of  this 
child  grace  whereby  they  may  serve  thee 
acceptably  with  reverence  and  godly  fear, 
in  holiness  and  righteousness  all  the  days 
of  their  lives  ;  that  by  precept  and  ex- 
ample they  may  train  their  child  in  all 
godly  discipline  and  admonition  that  it 
may  be  a  worthy  member  of  the  Church 
of  Christ.  Grant,  O  Lord,  that  this 
child  may  die  unto  sin,  and  live  unto 
righteousness ;  and,  being  steadfast  in 
faith,  joyful  through  hope,  and  rooted  in 
love,  may  safely  pass  the  waves  of  this 
transitory  life,  and  finally  come  to  the 
haven  of  eternal  repose,  there  to  dwell 
with  thee,  world  without  end,  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

Almighty   God,  grant   that  whosoever 


is  dedicated  to  thee  by  our  office  and 
ministry  may  be  endued  with  heavenly 
virtues,  and  ever  remain  in  the  number 
of  thy  faithful  children,  and  be  made  a 
partaker  of  eternal  life  through  thy 
mercy,  O  blessed  Lord  God,  who  dost 
live  and  govern  all  things,  world  without 
end.    Amen. 

The  people  shall  then  sta?id  up,  and 
the  ??ii?iister  shall  say  : 

Hear  the  words  of  the  Gospel  as  re- 
corded by  St.  Mark:  They  brought 
young  children  to  Christ  that  he  should 
touch  them,  and  his  disciples  rebuked 
those  who  brought  them  ■  but  \yhen 
Jesus  saw  it  he  was  much  displeased,  and 
said:  Suffer  the  little  children  to  come 
unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not,  for  of  such 
is  the  kingdom  of  God.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  whosoever  shall  not  receive  the 
kingdom  of  God  as  a  little  child  shall  not 
enter  therein.  And  he  took  them  up  in 
his  arms,  put  his  hands  upon  them,  and 
blessed  them. 

The  minister  shall  the?i  take  the  child 
in  his  arms  a?id  say  to  the  friends  of  the 
child: 

Name  the  child. 

Repeati7ig  the  na?ne  as  given  by  the 
Parents,  he  shall  say,  when  baptizing  : 

I  baptize  thee  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost.  The  Lord  bless  this  child,  and 
grant  him  eternal  life. 

The  minister  shall  then  address  the 
persons  presenting  the  child,  as  follows  : 

Dearly  beloved,  your  child  has  now,  by 
consecration  and  the  holy  office  of  bap- 
tism been  solemnly  set  apart  to  the  service 
of  God.  You  have  acknowledged  your 
duty  to  rear  it  as  a  Christian,  and  you 
have  promised  to  perform  that  duty.  It 
now  remains  for  us  to  exhort  you  to  be 
faithful,    and    to    assure     you    that    so

long  as  you  remember  your  vow,  and 
keep  the  covenant  you  have  made,  you 
may  claim  the  promise  of  him  who  hath 
said  :  "  I  will  pour  out  my  spirit  upon 
thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  upon  thine  off- 
spring." 

The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  the  love  of  God,  and  the  communion 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 

BAPTISM    OF    SUCH  AS  ARE   OF 
RIPER   YEARS 

When  the  persons  to  be  baptized  pre- 
sent themselves,  the  minister  shall  say  : 

Dearly  beloved,  forasmuch  as  our  Sav- 
iour, Christ,  did  commission  his  dis- 
ciples to  go  teach  all  nations,  baptizing 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  Son, 
and  Holy  Ghost,  we  beseech  you  to  call 
upon  God  the  Father,  through  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that,  of  his  bounteous  good- 
ness, he  will  grant  to  these  persons,  now 
to  be  baptized,  grace  whereby  they  may 
serve  him  acceptably,  and  be  lively  mem- 
bers in  the  Church  of  our  Lord  and  Sav- 
iour Jesus  Christ,  and  heirs  of  eternal  life. 

The  minister  shall  then  demand  of 
each  of  the  persons  to  be  baptized,  sever- 
ally : 

i.  Do  you  believe  in  the  existence  of 
God,  and  that  he  is  a  rewarder  of  all 
those  who  diligently  seek  him? 

Answer.     I  do. 

2.  Do  you  believe  that  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  is  the  Redeemer  and  Saviour  of 
the  world  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

3.  The  Holy  Scriptures  declare  that 
we  all  have  sinned  and  come  short  of  the 
glory  of  God,  but  these  same  Scriptures 
give  assurance  that,  if  we  confess  our 
sins,  he  is  faithful  and  just  to  forgive 
our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us  from  all 
unrighteousness ;  are  you  now  deter- 
mined,  by  the   aid   of  divine   grace,  to 


forsake  every  evil  way,  to  look  to  Christ 
as  your  only  and  all-sufficient  Saviour, 
and  to  walk  in  all  the  commandments  of 
God? 

Answer.     I  am. 

4.  It  is  made  our  duty  to  search  the 
Holy  Scriptures,  and  to  attend  on  all  the 
ordinances  of  the  house  of  God  ;  will 
you  endeavor  to  be  faithful  in  the  dis- 
charge of  these  duties? 

Answer.  I  will,  by  the  assistance  of 
God's  Holy  Spirit. 

Let  us  all  humbly  kneel  and  pray  : 

Almighty,  everlasting  God,  whose  most 
dearly  beloved  Son,  Jesus  Christ,  for  the 
forgiveness  of  our  sins,  did  shed  out  of 
his  most  precious  side  both  water  and 
blood,  and  gave  commandment  to  his 
disciples  that  they  should  go  teach  all 
nations,  and  baptize  them  in  the  name  of 
the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost :  regard,  we  beseech  thee, 
the  supplications  of  this  congregation, 
and  grant  that  the  persons  now  to  be 
baptized  may  receive  the  fullness  of  thy 
grace,  and  ever  remain  in  the  number  of 
thy  elect  children,  through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord. 

O  merciful  God,  grant  through  the 
sanctification  of  thy  Spirit,  and  their 
belief  of  the  truth,  as  it  is  in  Christ  Jesus, 
that  the  carnal  mind  in  them  may  be 
destroyed,  and  that  they  may  be  created 
anew  in  Christ  Jesus,  unto  good  works, 
and  have  their  fruit  unto  holiness,  and 
obtain  everlasting  life. 

Grant  that  they,  being  dedicated  to 
thee,  by  our  office  and  ministry,  may  re- 
ceive grace  whereby  they  may  serve  thee 
acceptably  with  reverence  and  godly 
fear,  in  holiness  and  righteousness  all 
the  days  of  their  lives  ;  and  being  indued 
with  heavenly  virtues,  and  strengthened 
by  thy  grace,  may  have  victory,  and  be 
eventually  rewarded,  through  thy  mercy, 
O  blessed  Lord  God,  who  dost  live  and 
govern  all  things,  world  without  end. 
Amen.

JBaptism—  IReceptton  of  /IDembers 


The  minister  shall  then  take  each  per- 
son to  be  baptized  by  the  right  hand  ; 
shall  ask  the  name,  and  then,  repeating 
the  name,  baptize  him,  saying: 

I  baptize  thee  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

The  minister  may  then  address  the 
person  baptized: 

And  now  dear  brother  (or  sister)  the 
vows  of  the  Lord  are  upon  you.  Of 
your  own  free  will  you  have  sought  this 
significant  and  solemn  Christian  ordi- 
nance. It  is  an  ordinance  in  which  you 
have  pledged  allegiance  to  Christ.  The 
typical  water  of  divine  appointment  is 
upon  you,  and  henceforth,  even  from  this 
hallowed  hour,  you  go  forth  a  confessor 
of  Christ  before  the  world.  In  your 
baptism  you  have  witnessed  a  good  con- 
fession. Be  steadfast  in  it.  Be  true  to 
it.  Let  your  baptism  prove  the  sacra- 
mental seal  of  a  life-long  covenant  with 
God,  whose  blessed  Son,  Jesus  Christ, 
hath  said,  "Whosoever  shall  confess 
me  before  men,  him  will  I  confess  also 
before  my  Father  who  is  in  heaven." 

The  ?ninister  then  may  co?iclude  with 
extempore  prayer,  or  the  benediction  : 

The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  the  love  of  God,  and  the  communion 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 

RECEPTION  OF  PROBATIONERS 

Beloved  in  the  Lord  :  The  conditions 
required  of  those  who  seek  admission  to 
probationary  membership  in  this  church, 
are  a  desire  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to 
come,  and  be  saved  by  grace  through 
faith  in  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  with  an 
avowed  determination  to  walk  in  all  the 
commandments  of  God  blameless.  Do 
you  accept  such  membership  on  these 
conditions? 


Answer.    I  do. 

*  Your  parents,  or  sponsors,  having  by 
solemn  consecration  and  the  holy  office 
of  baptism,  dedicated  you  to  the  service 
of  Christ,  do  you  ratify  the  baptismal  act 
and  covenant  performed  and  made  by 
them  for  you? 

Answer.     I  do. 

The  Holy  Scriptures  declare  :  "  If  thou 
shalt  confess  with  thy  mouth  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  shalt  believe  in  thine  heart 
that  God  hath  raised  him  from  the  dead, 
thou  shalt  be  saved."  Do  you  thus  con- 
fess and  believe  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

The  Holy  Scriptures  further  declare, 
"  If  we  confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful 
and  just  to  forgive  our  sins  and  to  cleanse 
us  from  all  unrighteousness."  Do  you 
repent  of  your  sins,  and  rely  only  upon 
the  atonement  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
for  your  salvation,  promising  to  obey 
him  as  your  Prince  and  to  conform  your 
life  to  his  teaching  and  example  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

Do  you  covenant  with  this  church,  as 
far  as  possible,  to  attend  its  services,  to 
co-operate  with  the  pastor  and  members, 
and  to  contribute  according  to  your 
ability  to  the  religious  enterprises  of  the 
church  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

You  having  made  your  confession  of 
faith  and  entered  into  solemn  covenant 
with  the  church,  I  do  now  in  the  name  of 
Christ  the  Head,  and  his  body  the 
church,  take  you  by  the  right  hand,  and 
welcome  you  to  the  communion  and  fel- 
lowship of  the  church,  pledging  you  our 
prayers  and  sympathy,  and  our  help  for 
your  furtherance  and  joy  of  faith. 

Brethren,  do  you  thus  receive  and  cov- 
enant with  this  (or  these)  candidate? 

Answer.     We  do. 

Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  keep  you 
from  falling,  and  to  present  you  faultless 


*  This  question  to  be  asked  of  such  persons  only;

FORM    OF    RECEPTION    INTO 
THE    CHURCH 

In  the  reception  of  members,  the  fol- 
lowing form  shall  be  used,  except  those 
who  are  received  on  certificate  ;  for  such 
persons  the  part  of  the  form  beginning 
at  the  second  paragraph  to  be  used. 

The  candidates  appearing  before  the 
church,  the  minister  shall  address  thetn 
as  follows  : 

Beloved  in  the  Lord  :  Grace  be  to  you 
and  peace  from  God  our  Father  and  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ.  By  this  act  of  unit- 
ing with  the  church,  you  signify  your 
acceptance  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as 
your  personal  Saviour,  and  the  Holy 
Spirit  as  your  Sanctifier,  Comforter 
and  Guide ;  and  devote  yourself  to  God 
in  the  everlasting  convenant  of  his 
grace,  and  consecrate  your  powers  to  his 
service  and  glory  ;  and  promise  that  you 
will  continue  to  give  diligent  attention  to 
his  word  and  ordinances,  and  seek  the 
honor  and  advancement  of  His  kingdom. 
And  denying  all  ungodliness  and  worldly 
lusts,  you  will  live  soberly,  righteously 
and  godly  in  this  present  world. 

In  joining  yourself  to  this  church  do 
you  agree  to  all  its  rules  of  government ; 
to  contribute  as  God  gives  you  ability 
for  the  support  of  the  gospel  ministry 
and  the  benevolent  enterprises  of  the 
church  ;  to  seek  earnestly  its  peace  and 
purity  ;  to  walk  with  all  its  members  in 
charity  and  faithfulness,  in  meekness 
and  sobriety.  Do  you  thus  freely  and 
solemnly  devote  yourselves  to  the  service 
of  the  Lord  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

Members  of  the  church  here  arise,  and 
the  minister  shall  read  this  response  of 
the  church  : 


We,  the  members  of  this  church,  do 
cordially  receive  you  to  our  communion 
and  fellowship,  and  promise  to  walk  with 
you  in  love,  and  to  watch  over  you,  in- 
struct, counsel,  admonish,  and  cherish 
you,  with  all  long-suffering,  gentleness, 
and  love. 

Brethren  and  sisters,  do  you  thus  cov- 
enant before  the  Lord  ? 

Answer.     We  do. 

PRAYER 

O  Lord,  our  Father,  the  Fathtr  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  of  whom  the  whole 
family  in  heaven  and  earth  is  named, 
grant  unto  these  thy  servants,  according 
to  the  riches  of  the  glory,  to  be  strength- 
ened with  might  by  thy  Spirit  in  the 
inner  man;  that  Christ  may  dwell  in 
their  hearts  by  faith ;  that  they,  being 
rooted  and  grounded  in  love,  may  be 
able  to  comprehend  with  all  saints  what 
is  the  breadth,  and  length,  and  depth,  and 
height;  and  to  know  the  love  of  Christ, 
which  passeth  knowledge;  that  they  may 
be  filled  with  all  the  fullness  of  God. 
Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  do  exceed- 
ing abundantly  above  all  that  we  ask  or 
think,  according  to  the  power  that  worketh 
in  us,  unto  him  be  glory  in  the  church  by 
Christ  Jesus  throughout  all  ages,  world 
without  end.     Amen. 

[Here  the  pastor,  in  the  name  of  the

lowship, after  which  he  shall  present  the

MARRIAGE    CEREMONY 

Marriage  should  not  be  performed 
contrary  to  the  Lord's  instruction,  as 
given  in  Matt.  v.  31,  32. 

At  the  time  appointed  for  solemniza- 
tion  of  matrimony,   the  Persons  to    be 

married,  standing  together,  the   man  on 


20 


flDatnmonE 


the  right  hand  and  the  woman  on  his 
left,  the  minister  shall  say  : 

Dearly  beloved,  we  are  gathered  to- 
gether here  in  the  sight  of  God  and  this 
company,  to  join  together  this  man  and 
this  woman  in  holy  matrimony;  which  is 
commended  of  St.  Paul  to  be  honorable 
among  all  men  ;  and  therefore  is  not  by 
any  to  be  entered  into  unadvisedly  or 
lightly,  but  reverently,  discreetly,  soberly, 
and  in  the  fear  of  God.  Into  this  holy 
estate  these  two  persons  present  come  to 
be  joined.  If  any  man  can  show  just 
cause  why  they  may  not  be  lawfully 
joined  together,  let  him  now  speak,  or 
else  hereafter  forever  hold  his  peace. 

The  minister  shall  then  address  him- 
self to  the  persons  about  to  be  married, 
and  say  : 

I  require  and  charge  you  both,  as  ye 
will  answer  at  the  dreadful  day  of  judg- 
ment, when  the  secrets  of  all  hearts  shall 
be  disclosed,  that  if  either  of  you  know  any 
impediment,  why  ye  may  not  be  lawfully 
joined  together  in  matrimony,  ye  do  now 
confess  it.  For  be  ye  well  assured,  that 
if  any  persons  are  joined  together  other- 
wise than  as  God's  word  doth  allow,  their 
marriage  is  not  lawful. 

If  no  impedimetit  be  alleged,  the  min- 
ister shall  say  u?ito  the  man  : 

Wilt  thou  have  this  woman  to  thy 
wedded  wife,  to  live  together  after  God's 
ordinance  in  the  holy  estate  of  matri- 
mony? Wilt  thou  love  her,  comfort  her, 
honor,  and  keep  her  in  sickness  and  in 
health  ;  and,  forsaking  all  others,  keep 
thee  only  unto  her,  so  long  as  ye  both 
shall  live? 

The  man  shall  answer  : 

I  will. 

Then  shall  the  minister  say  unto  the 
woman  : 

Wilt  thou  have  this  man  to  thy  wedded 
husband,    to    live    together   after   God's 


ordinance  in  the  holy  estate  of  matrix 
mony  ?  Wilt  thou  love,  honor,  and  keep 
him  in  sickness  and  in  health  ;  and,  for- 
saking all  others,  keep  thee  only  unto 
him,  so  long  as  ye  both  shall  live  ? 

The  woman  shall  anszuer : 

I  will. 

DIRECTIONS   FOR   USING   THE   RING 

If  the  parties  desire  the  ceremony  of 
the  ring,  this  form  shall  be  used : 

The  man  shall  give  unto  the  woman  a 
ring,  a7id  the  minister,  taking  the  ring, 
shall  deliver  it  to  the  ma?i  to  put  it  upon 
the  fourth  finger  of  the  woman's  left 
hand,  and  the  7>ia?i,  holding  the  ring 
there  and  taught  by  the  minister,  shall 
say  : 

With  this  ring  I  thee  wed  and  with  all 
my  worldly  goods  I  thee  endow ;  in  the 
name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and 
of  the  Holy  Ghost.     Amen. 

Or  the  following : 

You  will  now  place  this  ring  on  the 
fourth  finger  of  the  left  hand  of  your 
bride,  to  remain  as  a  perpetual  memorial 
of  the  holy  covenant  into  which  you  have 
both  entered,  and  of  the  solemn  pledges 
which  you  have  each  made  to  the  other 
in  the  presence  of  him  who  hath  said: 
''And  they  twain  shall  be  one  flesh." 

The  minister  shall  then  say  : 

Let  us  pray : 

O  Eternal  God,  Creator  and  Preserver 
of  all  mankind,  Giver  of  all  spiritual 
grace,  the  Author  of  everlasting  life : 
Send  thy  blessing  upon  these  thy  ser- 
vants, this  man  and  this  woman,  whom 
we  bless  in  thy  name ;  that  they  may 
surely  perform  and  keep  the  vow  and 
covenant  between  them  made,  and  may 
ever  remain  in  perfect  love  and  peace 
together,  and  live  according  to  thy  laws, 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 

The  minister  shall  then  say  :

Please  join  your  right  hands. 

The  minister  shall  then  say  : 

Those  whom  God  hath  joined  together 
let  not  man  put  asunder. 

Forasmuch  as  A  and  B  have  consented 
together  in  holy  wedlock,  and  have  wit- 
nessed the  same  before  God  and  this 
company,  and  thereto  have  given  and 
pledged  their  troth,  each  to  the  other, 
and  have  declared  the  same  by  joining 
hands,  I  pronounce  that  they  are  husband 
and  wife ;  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and 
of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
Amen. 

The  minister  shall  then  add  this  bless- 
ing: 

May  God  the  Father,  Son  and  Holy 
Ghost  bless,  preserve  and  keep  you:  the 
Lord  mercifully  with  his  favor  look  upon 
you,  and  till  you  with  all  spiritual  bene- 
diction and  grace;  that  ye  may  so  live 
together  in  this  life  that  in  the  world  to 
come  ye  may  have  life  everlasting. 
Amen. 

THE  BURIAL  OF  THE  DEAD 
[This  service  is  arranged  for  the  home. 
When  services  are  held  in  the  church, 
and  hymns  are  sung,  it  may  be  changed 
according  to  the  judgment  of  the  officia- 
ting minister.] 

OPENING  SERVICE 
Man  that  is  born  of  a  woman  is  of  a 
few  days,  and  full  of  trouble.  He  cometh 
forth  like  a  flower,  and  is  cut  down ;  he 
fleeth  also  as  a  shadow,  and  continueth 
not.  — Job  xiv.  i,  2. 

As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west,  so 
far  hath  he  removed  our  transgressions 
from  us.  Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his 
children,  so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that 
fear  him.  For  he  knoweth  our  frame; 
he  remembereth  that  we  are  dust.  As  for 
man,  his  days  are  as  grass  ;  as  a  flower  of 
the  field,  so  he  flourisheth.     For  the  wind 


passeth  over  it,  and  it  is  gone  ;  and  the 
place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  mm  < 
the  mercy  Of  the  Lord  is  from  everlasting 
to  everlasting  upon  them  that  fear  him, 
and  his  righteousness  unto  children's 
children;  to  such  as  keep  his  covenant, 
and  to  those  that  remember  his  com- 
mandments to  do  them.  —  Psa.cXW.  13-18. 

Lord,  thou  hast  been  our  dwelling-place 
in  all  generations.  Before  the  mountains 
were  brought  forth,  or  ever  thou  hadst 
formed  the  earth  and  the  world,  even 
from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  thou  art 
God.  Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction  ; 
and  sayest,  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 
For  a  thousand  years  in  thy  sight  are  but 
as  yesterday  when  it  is  past,  and  as  a 
watch  in  the  night.  Thou  carriest  them 
away  as  with  a  flood  ;  they  are  as  a  sleep  ; 
in  the  morning  they  are  like  grass  which 
groweth  up  ;  in  the  evening  it  is  cut  down, 
and  withereth.  For  we  are  consumed 
by  thine  anger,  and  by  thy  wrath  are  we 
troubled.  Thou  hast  set  our  iniquities 
before  thee,  our  secret  sins  in  the  light  of 
thy  countenance.  For  all  our  days  are 
passed  away  in  thy  wrath  ;  we  spend  our 
years  as  a  tale  that  is  told.  —  Psa.  xc.  1-9. 

For  we  must  all  appear  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Christ;  that  every  one 
may  receive  the  things  done  in  his  body, 
according  to  that  he  hath  done,  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad.  —  2  Cor.  v.  10. 

Verily,  verily.  I  say  unto  you,  the  hour 
is  coming,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead 
shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God  ; 
and  they  that  hear  shall  live.  For  as  the 
Father  hath  life  in  himself,  so  hath  he 
given  to  the  Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 
and  hath  given  him  authority  to  execute 
judgment  also,  because  he  is  the  Son  of 
man.  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the  hour  is 
coming,  in  the  which  all  that  are  in  the 
graves  shall  hear  his  voice,  and  shall 
come  forth;  they  that  have  done  good, 
unto  the  resurrection  of  life;  and  they 
that  have  done  evil,  unto  the  resurrection 
of  damnation. — John  v.  25-29.

SCRIPTURES       RELATING       TO 

THE    DEATH    OF    YOUNG 

CHILDREN 

A  voice  was  heard  in  Ramah,  lamenta- 
tion and  bitter  weeping  ;  Rachel  weeping 
for  her  children  refused  to  be  comforted 
for  her  children,  because  they  were  not. 
— Jer.  xxxi.  15. 

And  they  brought  young  children  to 
him,  that  he  should  touch  them ;  and  his 
disciples  rebuked  those  that  brought 
them.  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was 
much  displeased,  and  said  unto  them, 
Suffer  the  little  children  to  come  unto 
me,  and  forbid  them  not ;  for  of  such  is 
the  kingdom  of  God.  —  Mark  x.  13,  14. 

At  the  same  time  came  the  disciples 
unto  Jesus,  saying,  Who  is  the  greatest 
in  the  kingdom  of  heaven?  And  Jesus 
called  a  little  child  unto  him,  and  set  him 
in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said,  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  except  ye  be  converted, 
and  become  as  little  children,  ye  shall  not 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. — 
Matt,  xviii.  1-3. 

Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven,  that  one  of  these 
little  ones  should  perish.  —  Matt,  xviii.  14. 

David  therefore  besought  God  for  the 
child  ;  and  David  fasted,  and  went  in, 
and  lay  all  night  upon  the  earth.  And 
the  elders  of  his  house  arose,  and  went 
to  him,  to  raise  him  up  from  the  earth  ; 
but  he  would  not,  neither  did  he  eat 
bread  with  them.  And  it  came  to  pass 
on  the  seventh  day,  that  the  child  died. 
And  the  servants  of  David  feared  to  tell 
him  that  the  child  was  dead  ;  for  they 
said,  Behold,  while  the  child  was  yet 
alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and  he  would 
not  hearken  unto  our  voice  ;  how  will  he 
then  vex  himself,  if  we  tell  him  that  the 
child  is  dead?  But  when  David  saw  that 
his  servants  whispered,  David  perceived 
that  the  child  was  dead  ;  therefore  David 
said  unto  his  servants,  Is  the  child  dead? 
And  they  said,  He  is  dead.    Then  David 


arose  from  the  earth,  and  washed,  and 
anointed  himself,  and  changed  his  ap- 
parel, and  came  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  worshiped  ;  then  he  came  to 
his  own  house ;  and  when  he  required, 
they  set  bread  before  him,  and  he  did 
eat.  Then  said  his  servants  unto  him, 
What  thing  is  this  that  thou  hast  done? 
Thou  didst  fast  and  weep  for  the  child, 
while  it  was  alive;  but  when  the  child 
was  dead,  thou  didst  rise  and  eat  bread. 
And  he  said,  While  the  child  was  yet 
alive,  I  fasted  and  wept ;  for  I  said,  Who 
can  tell  whether  God  will  be  gracious  to 
me,  that  the  child  may  live?  But  now 
he  is  dead,  wherefore  should  I  fast?  Can 
I  bring  him  back  again?  I  shall  go  to 
him,  but  he  shall  not  return  to  me.  —  2 
Sam.  xii.  15-23. 

SCRIPTURES    RELATING   TO 
SUDDEN    DEATH 

For  what  is  your  life?  It  is  even  a 
vapor,  that  appeareth  for  a  little  time, 
and  then  vanisheth  away. — James  iv.  14. 

One  dieth  in  his  full  strength,  being 
wholly  at  ease  and  quiet.  ***** 
And  another  dieth  in  the  bitterness  of  his 
soul,  and  never  eateth  with  pleasure. 
They  shall  lie  down  alike  in  the  dust, 
and  the  worms  shall  cover  them. — Job 
xxi.  23-26. 

There  is  no  man  who  hath  power  over 
the  spirit  to  retain  the  spirit;  neither 
hath  he  power  in  the  da'y  of  death  ;  and 
there  is  no  discharge  in  that  war;  neither 
shall  wickedness  deliver  those  that  are 
given  to  it.  —  Eccles.  viii.  8. 

Take  ye  heed,  watch  and  pray  ;  for  ye 
know  not  when  the  time  is.  For  the  son 
of  man  is  as  a  man  taking  a  far  journey, 
who  left  his  house,  and  gave  authority  to 
his  servants,  and  to  every  man  his  work, 
and  commanded  the  porter  to  watch. 
Watch  ye  therefore :  for  ye  know  not 
when  the  master  of  the  house  cometh  — 
at  even  or  at  midnight,  or  at  the  cock- 
crowing,  or  in  the  morning:  lest  coming

suddenly  he  find  you  sleeping.  And 
what  I  say  unto  you  I  say  unto  all, 
Watch.  —  Mark  xiii.  33-37. 

SCRIPTURES  RELATING  TO 
THE  DEATH  OF  THE  AGED 
The  days  of  our  years  are  threescore 
years  and  ten ;  and  if  by  reason  of 
strength  they  be  fourscore  years,  yet  is 
their  strength  labor  and  sorrow;  for  it  is 
soon  cut  off,  and  we  fly  away. — Psa. 
xc.  10. 

The  hoary  head  is  a  crown  of  glory,  if 
it  be  found  in  the  way  of  righteousness. 
—  Prov.  xvi.  31. 

Your  fathers,  where  are  they?  and  the 
prophets,  do   they  live  forever?  —  Zech. 

i-5- 

Thou  shalt  come  to  thy  grave  in  a  full 
age,  like  as  a  shock  of  corn  cometh  in 
in  his  season. — Job  v.  26. 

Remember  now  thy  Creator  in  the  days 
of  thy  youth,  while  the  evil  days  come 
not,  nor  the  years  draw  nigh,  when  thou 
shalt  say,  I  have  no  pleasure  in  them; 
while  the  sun,  or  the  light,  or  the  moon, 
or  the  stars,  be  not  darkened,  nor  the 
clouds  return  after  the  rain:  in  the  day 
when  the  keepers  of  the  house  shall  trem- 
ble, and  the  strong  men  shall  bow  them- 
selves, and  the  grinders  cease  because 
they  are  few,  and  those  that  look  out  of 
the  windows  be  darkened.  And  the 
doors  shall  be  shut  in  the  streets,  when 
the  sound  of  the  grinding  is  low,  and  he 
shall  rise  up  at  the  voice  of  the  bird,  and 
all  the  daughters  of  music  shall  be 
brought  low;  also  when  they  shall  be 
afraid  of  that  which  is  high,  and  fears 
shall  be  in  the  way,  and  the  almond  tree 
shall  flourish,  and  the  grasshopper  shall 
be  a  burden,  and  desire  shall  fail ;  be- 
cause man  goeth  to  his  long  home,  and 
the  mourners  go  about  the  streets;  or 
ever  the  silver  cord  be  loosed,  or  the 
golden  bowl  be  broken,  or  the  pitcher  be 
broken  at  the  fountain,  or  the  wheel 
broken  at  the   cistern.     Then   shall  the 


dust  return  to  the  earth  as  ft  was;  and 
the  spirit  shall  return  unto  God  who 
gave  it. 

Let  us  hear  the  conclusion  of  the  whole 
matter:  Fear  God  and  keep  his  com- 
mandments ;  for  this  is  the  whole  duty  of 
man.  For  God  shall  bring  every  work 
into  judgment,  with  every  secret  thing, 
whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be  evil. 
—  Eccles.  xii. 

SCRIPTURES  RELATING  TO  THE 
DEATH  OF  BELIEVERS 

And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  say- 
ing unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  the  dead 
which  die  in  the  Lord  from  henceforth: 
Yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest 
from  their  labors;  and  their  works  do 
follow  them.  —  Rev.  xiv.  13. 

But  I  would  not  have  you  to  be  igno- 
rant, brethren,  concerning  them  which 
are  asleep,  that  ye  sorrow  not,  even  as 
others  who  have  no  hope.  For  if  we 
believe  that  Jesus  died  and  rose  again, 
even  so  them  also  which  sleep  in  Jesus 
will  God  bring  with  him.  For  this  we 
say  unto  you  by  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
that  we  which  are  alive  and  remain  unto 
the  coming  of  the  Lord  shall  not  prevent 
them  which  are  asleep.  For  the  Lord 
himself  shall  descend  from  heaven  with 
a  shout,  with  the  voice  of  the  archangel, 
and  with  the  trump  of  God :  and  the 
dead  in  Christ  shall  rise  first:  then  we 
which  are  alive  and  remain  shall  be 
caught  up  together  with  them  in  the 
clouds,  to  meet  the  Lord  in  the  air :  and 
so  shall  we  ever  be  with  the  Lord. 
Wherefore  comfort  one  another  with 
these  words.  —  2  Thess.  iv.  13-1S. 

For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then  is  not 
Christ  raised :  and  if  Christ  be  not 
raised,  your  faith  is  vain  ;  ye  are  yet  in 
your  sins.  Then  they  also  which  are 
fallen  asleep  in  Christ  are  perished.  If 
in  this  life  only  we  have  hope  in  Christ, 
we  are  of  all  men  most  miserable.  But 
now  is   Christ  risen  from  the  dead,  and 


24 


JBurial  of  tbe  DeaD 


become  the  firstfruits  of  them  that  slept. 
For  since  by  man  came  death,  by  man 
came  also  the  resurrection  of  the  dead. 
For  as  in  Adam  all  die,  even  so  in  Christ 
shall  all  be  made  alive.  But  every  man 
in  his  own  order:  Christ  the  firstfruits; 
afterward  they  that  are  Christ's  at  his 
coming.  Then  cometh  the  end,  when  he 
shall  have  delivered  up  the  kingdom  to 
God,  even  the  Father ;  when  he  shall 
have  put  down  all  rule,  and  all  authority 
and  power.  For  he  must  reign,  till  he 
hath  put  all  enemies  under  his  feet.  The 
last  enemy  that  shall  be  destroyed  is 
death.  —  i  Cor.  xv.  16-26. 

Behold,  I  shew  you  a  mystery :  We 
shall  not  all  sleep,  but  we  shall  all  be 
changed,  in  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling 
of  an  eye,  at  the  last  trump  ;  for  the 
trumpet  shall  sound,  and  the  dead  shall 
be  raised  incorruptible,  and  we  shall  be 
changed.  For  this  corruptible  must  put 
on  incorruption,  and  this  mortal  must 
put  on  immortality.  So  when  this  cor- 
ruptible shall  have  put  on  incorruption, 
and  this  mortal  shall  have  put  on  im- 
mortality, then  shall  be  brought  to  pass 
the  saying  that  is  written,  Death  is 
swallowed  up  in  victory.  O  death,  where 
is  thy  sting?  O  grave,  where  is  thy 
victory  ?  The  sting  of  death  is  sin  ;  and 
the  strength  of  sin  is  the  law.  But 
thanks  be  to  God,  which  giveth  us  the 
victory  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  be  ye 
steadfast,  immovable,  always  abound- 
ing in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  forasmuch 
as  ye  know  that  your  labor  is  not  in  vain 
in  the  Lord. —  1  Cor.  xv.  35-38. 

According  to  my  earnest  expectation 
and  my  hope,  that  in  nothing  I  shall  be 
ashamed,  but  that  with  all  boldness,  as 
always,  so  now  also  Christ  shall  be  mag- 
nified in  my  body,  whether  it  be  by  life, 
or  by  death.  For  to  me  to  live  is  Christ, 
and  to  die  is  gain.  But  if  I  live  in  the 
flesh,  this  is  the  fruit  of  my  labor:  yet 
what   I   shall  choose   I   wot  not.     For  I 


am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two,  having  a 
desire  to  depart,  and  to  be  with  Christ; 
which  is  far  better.  —  Phil.  i.  20-23. 

For  we  know  that,  if  our  earthly  house 
of  this  tabernacle  were  dissolved,  we 
have  a  building  of  God,  a  house  not 
made  with  hands,  eternal  in  the  heavens. 
—  2  Cor.  v.  1. 

And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  hea- 
ven saying:  Behold,  the  tabernacle  of 
God  is  with  men,  and  He  will  dwell  with 
them,  and  they  shall  be  His  people,  and 
God  Himself  shall  be  with  them,  and  be 
their  God.  And  God  shall  wipe  away  all 
tears  from  their  eyes;  and  there  shall  be 
no  more  death,  neither  sorrow,  nor  cry- 
ing, neither  shall  there  be  any  more 
pain  ;  for  the  former  things  are  passed 
away.  —  Rev.  xxi.  3-4. 

SCRIPTURES  WHICH  SET  FORTH 
THE  DESIGN  AND  GRACIOUS 
CONSOLATIONS    OF   AF- 
FLICTION 

Although  affliction  cometh  not  forth  of 
the  dust,  neither  doth  trouble  spring  out 
of  the  ground  ;  yet  man  is  born  unto 
trouble,  as  the  sparks  fly  upward.  — Job 
v.  6,  7. 

It  is  good  for  me  that  I  have  been 
afflicted  ;  that  I  might  learn  thy  statutes. 
The  law  of  thy  mouth  is  better  unto  me 
than  thousands  of  gold  and  silver.  —  Psa. 
cxix.  71,  72. 

Behold,  happy  is  the  man  whom  God 
correcteth ;  therefore  despise  not  thou 
the  chastening  of  the  Almighty :  for  he 
maketh  sore,  and  bindeth  up  :  he  wound- 
eth,  and  his  hands  make  whole.  He 
shall  deliver  thee  in  six  troubles;  yea,  in 
seven  there  shall  no  evil  touch  thee. — 
Job  v.  17-19. 

My  son,  despise  not  thou  the  chasten- 
ing of  the  Lord,  nor  faint  when  thou  art 
rebuked  of  him:  for  whom  the  Lord 
loveth  he  chasteneth,  and  scourgeth 
every  son   whom    he  receiveth.      If  ye

endure  chastening,  God  dealeth  with  you 
as  with  sons  ;  lor  what  son  is  he  whom 
the  father  chasteneth  not?  But  if  ye  be 
without  chastisement,  whereof  all  are 
partakers,  then  arc  ye  bastards,  and  not 
sons.  Furthermore,  we  have  had  fathers 
of  our  flesh  who  corrected  us,  and  we 
gave  them  reverence:  shall  we  not  much 
rather  be  in  subjection  unto  the  Father 
of  spirits,  and  live  ?  For  they  verily  for  a 
few  days  chastened  us  after  their  own 
pleasure;  but  he  for  our  profit,  that  we 
might  be  partakers  of  his  holiness.  Now 
no  chastening  for  the  present  seemeth  to 
be  joyous,  but  grievous ;  nevertheless, 
afterward  it  yieldeth  the  peaceable  fruit 
of  righteousness  unto  them  which  are 
exercised  thereby.  — Heb.  xii.  5—1 1. 

For  which  cause  we  faint  not ;  but 
though  our  outward  man  perish,  yet  the 
inward  man  is  renewed  day  by  day.  For 
our  light  affliction,  which  is  but  for  a 
moment,  worketh  for  us  a  far  more  ex- 
ceeding and  eternal  weight  of  glory; 
while  we  look  not  at  the  things  which 
are  seen,  but  at  the  things  which  are  not 
seen  :  for  the  things  which  are  seen  are 
temporal ;  but  the  things  which  are  not 
seen  are  eternal.  —  2  Cor.  iv.  16-18. 

For  a  small  moment  have  I  forsaken 
thee ;  but  with  great  mercies  will  I 
gather  thee.  In  a  little  wrath  I  hid  my 
face  from  thee  for  a  moment;  but  with 
everlasting  kindness  will  I  have  mercy 
on  thee,  saith  the  Lord  thy  Redeemer. — 
Isa.  liv.  7,  8. 

Address,  and  extempore  prayer ^  closing 
the  service  at  the  house. 


Having  reached  the  place  of  burial, 
and  the  coffin  being  deposited  in  the 
grave }  the  minister  shall  say  : 

In  the  midst  of  life  we  are  in  death; 
we  come  up  and  are  cut  down  like  a 
flower ;  we  flee  as  a  shadow,  and  never 
continue  in  one  stay. 

The  hour  is  coming,  in  which  all  that 


are  in  their  graves  shall  hear  the  voice  of 
the  Son  of  God,  and  shall  come  forth  ; 
they  that  have  clone  good,  to  the  resur- 
rection of  life,  and  they  that  have-  done 
evil,  to  the  resurrection  of  condemnation. 

Forasmuch  as  it  hath  pleased  Almighty 
God,  in  his  wise  providence,  to  take  out 
of  this  world  the  soul  of  our  deceased 
brother,  we  therefore  commit  his  body  to 
the  ground  — earth  to  earth,  ashes  to 
ashes,  dust  to  dust —  looking  for  the  Gen- 
eral Resurrection  in  the  last  day.  and  life 
of  the  world  to  come,  through  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ:  at  whose  second  coming  in 
glorious  majesty  to  judge  the  world,  the 
earth  and  the  sea  shall  give  up  their 
dead  ;  and  the  corruptible  bodies  of  those 
who  sleep  in  him  shall  be  changed,  and 
made  like  unto  his  own  glorious  body  ; 
according  to  the  mighty  working  where- 
by he  is  able  even  to  subdue  all  things 
unto  himself. 

Let  us  pray. 

Almighty  and  most  merciful  God,  in 
whose  hands  are  the  issues  of  life  and 
death,  and  before  whose  bar  we  shall 
stand,  and  give  an  account  of  the  deeds 
done  in  the  body,  we  beseech  thee  grant 
unto  us  at  all  times  a  salutary  conviction 
of  the  frailty  of  life,  and  our  great  re- 
sponsibility to  thee,  the  judge  of  quick 
and  dead. 

We  humbly  confess,  O  righteous  Fa- 
ther, that  we  have  sinned,  and  come  short 
of  thy  glory.  We  have  been  undutiful 
children,  slothful  servants,  and  unfaithful 
stewards  of  the  manifold  mercies  of  God. 
Be  merciful,  O  Lord,  to  our  unrighteous- 
ness, pardon  our  sins,  and  raise  us  from 
a  death  of  sin  to  a  life  of  righteousness, 
through  faith  in  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

We  beseech  thee,  Father  of  all  our 
mercies,  and  giver  of  every  good  and 
perfect  gift,  to  grant  us  grace  whereby 
we  may  serve  thee  acceptably,  with  rever- 
ence and  godly  fear,  all  our  days ;  look- 
ing for  the  blessed  hope,  and  glorious 
appearing  of  the  great  God  and  our  Sav-

iour  Jesus  Christ,  to  judge  the  world  in 
righteousness. 

Almighty  God,  our  Heavenly  Father, 
grant  that  this  dispensation  of  thy  right- 
eous providence  may  be  sanctified  to  the 
good  of  all  present.  May  we  take  due 
warning,  and  consider  the  shortness  and 
uncertainty  of  human  life,  the  solemnities 
of  death,  and  the  awful  realities  of  eter- 
nity, and  prepare  to  meet  thee  in  the 
judgment. 

May  the  bereaved  be  comforted  in 
their  affliction,  and  have  grace  to  sub- 
mit to  thy  righteous  will,  and  be  fully 
prepared  to  say  :  The  Lord  gave,  and  the 
Lord  hath  taken  away ;  blessed  be  the 
name  of  the  Lord.     Amen. 

THE   BENEDICTION 

The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  the  love  of  God,  and  the  communion 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 


ORDINATION  OF  ELDERS 

[//  is  recom?nended  to  the  Annual 
Conferences  that  the  person  ordained  to 
the  office  of  elder  be  presented  with  a 
copy  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  at  the  time 
of  his  ordination,  containing  the  inscrip- 
tion  : 


Presented  to 


by 


Con- 


ference, on  his  ordination  to  the  office  of 
elder  in  the  Church  of  Christ. 

,  President."} 

On  the  day  of  ordination,  if  practi- 
cable, an  appropriate  sermon  shall  be 
preached.  After  which  the  Secretary  of 
the  Annual  Conference,  if  present  —  and 
if  not,  an  elder  selected  by  the  President 
—  shall  announce  the  names  of  those  to 
be  ordained  elders,  who  shall,  respec- 
tively, present  themselves  before  the 
President  and  assisting  elders.  Then 
the  Secretary,  or  his  substitute,  shall 
say : 


President:  These  brethren  have 

been  duly  elected  by  the   Annual 

Conference  to  the  order  of  elder  in  the 
Church  of  God,  and  I  present  them  to 
you  for  ordination. 

One  of  the  elders  shall  then  read  the 
following  passages  of  Holy  Writ  : 

"And  Jesus  came,  and  spake  unto 
them,  saying:  All  power  is  given  unto 
me  in  heaven  and  in  earth.  Go  ye  there- 
fore and  teach  all  nations,  baptizing 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of 
the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  Teach- 
ing them  to  observe  all  things  whatso- 
ever I  have  commanded  you:  and  lo,  I  am 
with  you  alway,  even  unto  the  end  of  the 
world.     Amen. — Matt,  xxviii.  18-20. 

"But  unto  every  one  of  us  is  given 
grace  according  to  the  measure  of  the 
gift  of  Christ.  Wherefore  he  saith,  when 
he  ascended  up  on  high,  he  led  captiv- 
ity captive,  and  gave  gifts  unto  men. 
Now  that  he  ascended,  what  is  it  but 
that  he  also  descended  first  into  the 
lower  parts  of  the  earth?  He  that  de- 
scended is  the  same  also  that  ascended 
up  far  above  all  heavens  that  he  might 
fill  all  things.  And  he  gave  some,  apos- 
tles ;  and  some,  prophets ;  and  some, 
evangelists  ;  and  some,  pastors  and  teach- 
ers, for  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  for 
the  work  of  the  ministry,  for  the  edifying 
of  the  body  of  Christ,  till  we  all  come  in 
the  unity  of  the  faith  and  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  a  perfect 
man,  unto  the  measure  of  the  stature  of 
the  fulness  of  Christ.  —  Eph.  iv.  7-13. 

11  This  is  a  true  saying,  if  a  man  desire 
the  office  of  a  bishop,  he  desireth  a  good 
work.  A  bishop,  then,  must  be  blame- 
less, the  husband  of  one  wife,  vigilant, 
sober,  of  good  behavior,  given  to  hospi- 
tality, apt  to  teach.  Not  given  to  wine, 
no  striker,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre;  but 
patient ;  not  a  brawler,  not  covetous.  One 
that  ruleth  well  his  own  house,  having  his 
children  in  subjection  with   all   gravity. 


(Pronation 


27 


(For  if  a  man  know  not  how  to  rule  his 
own  house,  how  shall  he  take  care  of  the 
Church  of  God  ?)  Not  a  novice,  lest  be- 
ing lifted  up  with  pride  he  fall  into  the 
condemnation  of  the  devil.  Moreover, 
he  must  have  a  good  report  of  them 
which  are  without,  lest  he  fall  into  re- 
proach and  the  snare  of  the  devil." — 
i  Tim,  iii.  1-7. 

Another  of  the  elders  shall  say  to  the 
Persons  about  to  be  ordained : 

Beloved  brethren  :  Forasmuch  as  the 
Holy  Scriptures  command  that  we  should 
not  be  hasty  in  laying  on  hands,  and  ad- 
mitting persons  to  minister  in  the  Church 
of  Christ,  therefore,  before  we  admit  you 
to  the  office  of  elder  in  the  Church  of 
God,  we  will  examine  you  in  the  presence 
of  this  congregation,  and  receive  your 
answers  to  the  following  questions: 

Are  you  fully  persuaded  that  the  Holy 
Scriptures  contain  sufficiently  all  doctrine 
required  of  necessity  for  eternal  salva- 
tion ? 

And  will  you,  out  of  the  same  Holy 
Scriptures  instruct  the  people,  and  teach 
and  maintain  nothing  as  of  necessity  re- 
quired for  salvation,  but  that  which  you 
shall  be  persuaded  may  be  proved  by 
them  ? 

Will  you  faithfully  exercise  yourself  in 
the  study  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  and  call 
upon  God,  by  prayer,  for  the  true  under- 
standing of  the  same,  so  that  you  may  be 
able  to  teach  and  exhort  with  wholesome 
doctrine,  and  to  withstand  and  convince 
gainsayers? 

Will  you  deny  all  ungodliness  and 
worldly  lusts,  and  live  soberly,  right- 
eously, and  godly  in  this  present  world, 
that  you  may  show  yourself  in  all  things 
a  worthy  example  to  the  flock  of  Christ? 

Will  you  diligently  endeavor  to  teach 
and  discipline  your  family  according  to 
the  doctrine  of  the  Gospel,  and  make  it, 
as  much  as  in  you  lieth,  an  example  to 
others  ? 


Will  you  strive  to  maintain  quietness, 
peace  and  love  among  all  Christian  peo- 
ple, and  especially  among  them  who  are 
committed  to  your  care? 

Will  you  diligently  strive  to  promote 
an  active  interest  in  behalf  of  all  the 
general  and  local  interests  of  the  Church 
among  the  people  committed  to  your 
care  ? 

All  shall  now  kneel  before  God,  and 
the  elder  shall  say  : 

Let  us  pray. 

Almighty  God,  giver  of  every  good 
and  perfect  gift,  mercifully  behold  these 
thy  servants  now  set  apart  for  the  office 
and  work  of  elders  in  thy  church.  Grant 
so  to  replenish  them  with  the  truth  of 
thy  doctrine,  and  adorn  them  with  inno- 
cency  of  life,  that,  both  by  word  and  good 
example,  they  may  faithfully  serve  the 
church  in  this  office,  to  the  glory  of  thy 
name,  and  the  edification  of  thy  people, 
through  the  merits  of  our  Saviour  Jesus 
Christ.     Amen. 

The  elders  Present  shall  then  lay  their 
hands  severally  upon  the  head  of  every 
one  that  receiveth  the  order  of  elder,  the 
receivers  remaining  on  their  knees,  for 
the  convenience  of  the  ordainers,  the 
President  pronouncing  aloud  the  follow- 
ing words  : 

The  Lord  pour  upon  thee  the  Holy 
Spirit  for  the  office  and  work  of  an  elder, 
committed  unto  thee  by  the  election  of 
thy  brethren,  and  the  imposition  of  our 
hands;  and  be  thou  faithful. 

The  President  shall  then  deliver  to 
each  one  of  them  the  Bible  in  his  hands, 
saying  : 

We  acknowledge  thy  authority  to 
preach  this  WTord,  and  to  administer  the 
ordinances  in  the  Church  of  Christ. 

Feed  the  flock  of  God,  taking  the  over- 
sight thereof;  not  as  a  Lord  over  God's 
heritage,  but  being   an  example    to   the 


28

flock.  And  when  the  Chief  Shepherd 
shall  appear  thou  shalt  receive  a  crown 
of  glory  that  fadeth  not  away. 

Then  shall  the  President  say  : 

Let  us  pray. 

Most  merciful  Father,  we  beseech  thee 
to  grant  unto  these  thy  servants,  now 
set  apart  to  the  office  of  elder,  thy  heav- 
enly blessing:  and  so  indue  them  with 
thy  Holy  Spirit,  that  they,  preaching 
thy  Word,  may  not  only  be  earnest  to 
reprove,  beseech  and  exhort  with  all  pa- 
tience and  long-suffering,  but  may  be  also 
to  such  as  believe,  wholesome  examples 
in  doctrine,  in  conversation,  in  love,  in 
faith,  in  charity,  in  purity  ;  that,  faithfully 
fulfilling  their  course,  at  the  last  day  each 
one  may  receive  a  crown  of  righteousness 
laid  up  by  the  Lord,  the  righteous  Judge, 
who  liveth  and  reigneth  one  God  with  the 
Father  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  world  with- 
out end. 

Assist  us,  O  Lord,  in  all  our  doings 
with  thy  most  gracious  favor,  and  fur- 
ther us  with  thy  continued  help,  that  in 
all  our  works,  begun, continued,  and  ended 
in  thee,  we  may  glorify  thy  holy  name, 
and  finally,  by  thy  mercy,  obtain  ever- 
lasting life,  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.     Amen. 

BENEDICTION 

The  peace  of  God,  which  passeth  all 
understanding,  keep  your  hearts  and 
minds  in  the  knowledge  and  love  of  God, 
and  of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord  ; 
and  the  blessing  of  God  Almighty,  the 
Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  be 
with  you  always.    Amen. 


ADVICE    TO   THE    ORDAINED 

Keep  your  own  soul  alive  to  God  by 
meditation,  prayer,  and  searching  the 
Scriptures  daily.  Read  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments  regularly  through,  if  practi- 
cable, once  every  year,  and  avail  yourself 


of  all  the  helps  within  your  reach  to  ob- 
tain a  correct  understanding  of  the  Word 
of  Life.  ''Study  to  show  thyself  ap- 
proved unto  God,  a  workman  that  need- 
eth  not  to  be  ashamed,  rightly  dividing 
the  Word  of  Truth." 

Neither  be  unemployed,  nor  engaged 
about  trifles.  Do  everything  at  the  time 
appointed,  and  complete  everything  you 
commence.  Never  disappoint  a  congre- 
gation, nor  spend  more  time  in  a  place 
than  is  strictly  necessary.  Labor  con- 
stantly to  feel  the  high  responsibilities  of 
your  office  and  ministry;  take  heed  that 
the  blood  of  souls  be  not  found  on  your 
skirts. 

Be  an  example  of  the  believers,  in 
word,  in  conversation,  in  charity,  in  spirit, 
in  faith,  in  purity ;  and  avoid  all  affec- 
tation, effeminacy,  and  everything  like 
austerity.  Be  affable  and  courteous  in 
your  manners,  and  let  your  whole  deport- 
ment be  mild  and  inoffensive.  "  Learn 
of  me,"  said  the  blessed  Jesus,  "for  I 
am  meek  and  lowly  in  heart." 

In  your  dress,  keep  clear  of  the  two 
extremes,  antiquated  singularity  on  the 
one  hand,  and  fashionable  foppishness 
on  the  other.  Abstain  from  the  use  of 
tobacco  in  all  its  forms,  and  use  no  spir- 
ituous liquors. 

Remember,  it  is  your  imperative  duty 
not  to  preach  yourself,  but  Christ  cruci- 
fied, the  great  sacrifice  for  sin,  and  the 
only  Saviour  of  the  world.  We  "charge 
thee,  therefore,  before  God  and  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  who  shall  judge  the  quick 
and  the  dead  at  his  appearing,  preach 
the  word  ;  be  instant,  in  season,  out  of 
season ;  reprove,  rebuke,  exhort,  with  all 
long-suffering  and  doctrine." 

LAYING     THE     CORNER-STONE 
FOR   A   CHURCH 

The  minister  shall  say  : 
11  Except    the  Lord  build   the   house, 
they  labor  in  vain  that  build  it. 


Xavfntf  a  Corner-Stone 


20 


••Therefore,  thus  saitb  the  Lord 

behold.  I  lay  in  Zion  for  a  foundation  a 
stone,  a  tried  stone,  a  precious  corner- 
stone, a  sure  foundation/' 

The  minister  a n d  people  shall  read 
the  following  Psalm  responsivefy  ; 

PSALM    (  XXXII. 

i  Lord,  remember  David,  and  all  his 
afflictions: 

2  How  he  sware  unto  the  Lord,  and 
vowed  unto  the  mighty  God  of  Jacob : 

3  Surely  I  will  not  come  into  the  taber- 
nacle of  my  house,  nor  go  up  into  my 
bed; 

4  I  will  not  give  sleep  unto  mine  eyes, 
nor  slumber  to  mine  eyelids ; 

5  Until  I  find  out  a  place  for  the  Lord, 
a  habitation  for  the  mighty  God  of  Jacob. 

6  Lo,  we  heard  of  it  at  Ephratah  ;  we 
found  it  in  the  fields  of  the  wood. 

7  We  will  go  into  his  tabernacles ;  we 
will  worship  at  his  footstool. 

8  Arise,  O  Lord,  into  thy  rest:  thou, 
and  the  ark  of  thy  strength. 

9  Let  thy  priests  be  clothed  with  right- 
eousness ;  and  let  thy  saints  shout  for 
joy. 

io  For  thy  servant  David's  sake,  turn 
.lot  away  the  face  of  thine  anointed. 

ii  The  Lord  hath  sworn  in  truth  unto 
David  ;  he  will  not  turn  from  it:  Of  the 
fruit  of  thy  body  will  I  set  upon  thy 
throne. 

12  If  thy  children  will  keep  my  cove- 
nant and  my  testimony  that  I  shall  teach 
them,  their  children  shall  also  sit  upon 
thy  throne  forevermore. 

13  For  the  Lord  hath  chosen  Zion;  he 
hath  desired  it  for  his  habitation. 

14  This  is  my  rest  forever  ;  here  will  I 
dwell ;  for  I  have  desired  it. 

15  I  will  abundantly  bless  her  pro- 
vision ;  I  will  satisfy  her  poor  with  bread. 

16  I  will  also  clothe  her  priests  with 
salvation,  and  her  saints  shall  shout 
aloud  for  joy. 

17  There   will    I    make    the    horn    of 


David  to  bud;   I  have  ordained  a  lamp 
lor  mine  anointed. 

i>  His  enemies  will  1  clothe  with 
shame  ;  but  upon  himself  shall  his  crown 
flourish. 

The  minister  shall  now  read  the  fol- 
lowing portion  of  the  Xezu  Testament : 

I  COR.   III. 

9  For  we  are  laborers  together  with 
God  ye  are  God's  husbandry,  ye  are 
God's  building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of  God 
which  is  given  unto  me,  as  a  wise  master- 
builder,  I  have  laid  the  foundation,  and 
another  buildeth  thereon.  But  let  every 
man  take  heed  how  he  buildeth  there- 
upon. 

11  For  other  foundation  can  no  man 
lay  than  that  is  laid,  which  is  Jesus 
Christ. 

12  Now  if  any  man  build  upon  this 
foundation  gold,  silver,  precious  stones, 
wood,  hay,  stubble  ; 

13  Every  man's  work  shall  be  made 
manifest:  for  the  day  shall  declare  it,  be- 
cause it  shall  be  revealed  by  fire  ;  and  the 
fire  shall  try  every  man's  work  of  what 
sort  it  is. 

14  If  any  man's  work  abide  which  he 
hath  built  thereupon,  he  shall  receive  a 
reward. 

15  If  any  man's  work  shall  be  burned, 
he  shall  suffer  toss:  but  he  himself  shall 
be  saved  ;  yet  so  as  by  fire. 

16  Know  ye  not  that  ye  are  the  temple 
of  God,  and  that  the  Spirit  of  God  dwell- 
eth  in  you? 

17  If  any  man  defile  the  temple  of 
God,  him  shall  God  destroy  ;  for  the  tem- 
ple of  God  is  holy,  which  temple  ye  are. 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself.  If 
any  man  among  you  seemeth  to  be  wise 
in  tin's  world,  let  him  become  a  fool,  that 
he  may  be  wise. 

19  For  the  wisdom  of  this  world  is 
foolishness  with  God.  For  it  is  written, 
He  taketh  the  wise  in  their  own  craftiness. 


30 


SLapincj  a  Corner-stone 


20  And  again,  The  Lord  knoweth  the 
thoughts  of  the  wise,  that  they  are  vain. 

21  Therefore  let  no  man  glory  in  men. 
For  all  things  are  yours  ; 

22  Whether  Paul,  or  Apollos,  or  Ce- 
phas, or  the  world,  or  life,  or  death,  or 
things  present,  or  things  to  come;  all  are 
yours ; 

23  And  ye  are  Christ's ;  and  Christ  is 
God's. 

The  7ninister,  addressing"  the  people, 
shall  say  : 

It  is  right  and  meet  that  we  follow  the 
holy  example  of  the  pious  servants  of 
God,  who,  in  all  ages,  have  had  their 
chosen  places  set  apart  for  his  divine 
worship.  And  in  accordance  with  this 
godly  custom,  we  purpose  here  to  erect 
a  house  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  are  now  as- 
sembled to  lay  the  corner-stone  of  this 
new  temple  for  the  dwelling  of  the  Most 
High,  where  he  may  record  his  name, 
and  come  and  bless  his  people.  Trust- 
ing to  his  gracious  approval  of  this  pious 
undertaking,  let  us  pour  forth  our  thanks- 
giving and  praise  to  his  Holy  name  in 
one  of  the  songs  of  Zion,  and  devoutly 
invoke  his  benediction  upon  our  enter- 
prise. 

Then  a  suitable  hymn  may  be  sung. 

The  ?ninister  and  people  will  now  re- 
peat the  Lord's  Prayer,  after  which  the 
minister  shall  offer  the  following  petition 
to  the  throne  of  Grace  : 

O  Lord  our  God,  who  dwelleth  on  high, 
and  whose  glory  is  above  the  heavens ; 
who  coverest  thyself  with  light  as  with  a 
garment,  and  stretchest  out  the  heavens 
like  a  curtain;  who  hast  said,  Heaven  is 
my  throne,  and  the  earth  is  my  foot- 
stool ;  but  who  dost  condescend  to  dwell 
with  the  lowly  and  contrite  in  heart,  and 
those  that  tremble  at  thy  word:  Thou 
Holy  and  Glorious  Lord  God  Almighty, 
who  hast  manifested  thy  mercy  and 
goodness  in  the  person  of  our  Lord  and 


Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  through  whose 
blood  and  intercession  we  have  access  to 
thy  benign  presence,  we  come  this  day 
to  honor  thy  institution  of  public  wor- 
ship by  erecting  a  house  to  thy  glory. 
We  thank  thee  that  thou  hast  put  it 
into  the  hearts  of  thy  people  here  to 
build  a  Sanctuary  to  thy  Name ;  and 
beseech  thee  to  inspire  them  with  a  be- 
coming liberality,  that  all  may  give  as 
thou  hast  prospered  them,  that  there  be 
no  stint  in  providing  for  thy  holy  wor- 
ship. May  the  friends  of  this  pious 
undertaking  be  multiplied  to  such  an  ex- 
tent that  the  workmen  need  not  stop,  nor 
the  hearts  of  those  who  have  it  in  charge 
fail  them.  But  wilt  thou  graciously  in- 
cline the  people  to  give  of  their  substance 
until  this  habitation  of  thy  house  shall 
be  complete  and  ready  for  consecration 
to  thy  blessed  name.  May  the  counsels 
of  those  who  have  the  oversight  thereof 
be  harmonious  and  brotherly,  influenced 
by  the  one  commendable  desire  to  glorify 
thee,  and  benefit  the  people.  May  the 
work  be  completed  without  accident  or 
injury  to  any  engaged  therein.  May  the 
interest  that  many  manifest  in  the  erection 
of  this  house  eventuate  in  the  salvation  of 
themselves  and  their  families.  And  we 
beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  so  to  imbue  us 
with  thy  Spirit  that  we  may  be  always 
ready  to  every  good  work,  using  our 
bodies  as  temples  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
May  thy  pleasure  prosper  in  our  hands. 
And  when  the  duties  and  enjoyments  of 
thy  earthly  service  are  ended,  may  we 
all  meet  in  the  Temple  of  thy  glory,  to 
share  in  the  rest  that  remaineth  to  thy 
people  forever.  Grant  us,  O  Lord,  these 
our  humble  supplications,  and  all  other 
favors  needful  for  us,  for  the  sake  and 
through  the  merits  of  our  Lord  and 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ.    Amen. 

Then  aiiother  hymn  may  be  sung,  to 
be  followed  by  the  sermon  or  an  address, 
after  which  the  contributions  of  the 
people  shall  be  received. 


Corner-Stone   -Dedication 


31 


The  officiating  minister  shall  now  dis- 
tribute among  the  at  touting  ministers 
or  officiary  of  the  church,  the  different 
articles  to  be  deposited  in  the  excavation, 
retaining  a  copy  of  the  Holy  Scriptures 
in  his  own  hands.  The  workman  shall 
move  the  stone  to  its  appointed  place ', 
and  each  one  having  deposited  the  article 
committed  to  him,  in  the  cavity,  the 
minister  shall  place  the  cap  upon  the 
stone,  and  say  : 

For  the  extension  of  the  Redeemer's 
Kingdom  upon  the  earth,  for  the  glory 
of  his  name,  and  the  propagation  of  his 
truth,  we  lay  the  corner-stone  of  this 
house  of  divine  worship,  invoking  his 
blessing  upon  the  work  of  our  hands. 

The  service  may  conclude  with  the 
Doxology  and  the  Benediction. 

DEDICATION  OF  A  CHURCH 

INVOCATION 

O  Lord  God,  merciful  and  gracious, 
long-suffering,  and  abundant  in  goodness 
and  truth,  keeping  mercy  for  thousands, 
forgiving  iniquity  and  transgression  and 
sin,  and  that  will  by  no  means  clear  the 
guilty ;  we  bow  before  thy  holy  pres- 
ence, to  offer  unto  thee  the  worship  of 
our  bodies  and  spirits  which  are  thine. 
Will  it  please  thee  to  graciously  fill  our 
minds  and  hearts  with  thyself ;  so  im- 
buing us  with  thy  ever  blessed  Spirit, 
that  we  may  worship  thee  with  sincerity 
and  acceptability,  to  the  edification  of 
our  unworthy  souls,  and  the  glory  of  thy 
exalted  name :  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.     Amen. 

The  minister  and  people  shall  read 
responsively  the  following  Psalms  : 

tsalm  cxxn. 

i  I  was  glad  when  they  said  unto 
me,  Let  us  go  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2  Our  feet  shall  stand  within  thy 
gates,  O  Jerusalem. 


3  Jerusalem  is  builded  as  a  city  that 
is  compact  together : 

4  Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the  tribes 
of  the  Lord,  unto  the  testimony  of  Israel, 
to  give  thanks  unto  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

5  For  there  are  set  thrones  of  judg- 
ment, the  thrones  of  the  house  of  David. 

6  Pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusalem , 
they  shall  prosper  that  love  thee. 

7  Peace  be  within  thy  walls,  and  pros- 
perity within  thy  palaces. 

8  For  my  brethren  and  companions' 
sake,  I  will  now  say,  Peace  be  within 
thee. 

9  Because  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 
our  God  I  will  seek  thy  good. 

PSALM   LXXXIV. 

i  How  amiable  are  thy  tabernacles, 
O  Lord  of  hosts ! 

2  My  soul  longeth,  yea,  even  fainteth, 
for  the  courts  of  the  Lord  ;  my  heart  and 
my  flesh  crieth  out  for  the  living  God. 

3  Yea,  the  sparrow  hath  found  a 
house,  and  the  swallow  a  nest  for  herself 
where  she  may  lay  her  young,  even  thine 
altars,  O  Lord  of  Hosts,  my  King,  and 
my  God. 

4  Blessed  are  they  that  dwell  in  thy 
house ;  they  will  be  still  praising  thee. 

5  Blessed  is  the  man  whose  strength 
is  in  thee  ;  in  whose  heart  are  the  ways 
of  them. 

6  Who  passing  through  the  valley  of 
Baca  make  it  a  well ;  the  rain  also  filleth 
the  pools. 

7  They  go  from  strength  to  strength, 
every  one  of  them  in  Zion  appeareth  be 
fore  God. 

8  O  Lord  God  of  Hosts,  hear  my 
prayer  ;  give  ear,  O  God  of  Jacob. 

9  Behold,  O  God,  our  shield,  and 
look  upon  the  face  of  thine  anointed. 

io  For  a  day  in  thy  courts  is  better 
than  a  thousand.  I  had  rather  be  a 
doorkeeper  in  the  house  of  my  God  than 
to  dwell  in  the  tents  of  wickedness.

ii  For  the  Lord  God  is  a  sun  and 
shieM  :  the  Lord  will  give  grace  and 
glory  ;  no  good  thing  will  he  withhold 
from  them  that  walk  uprightly. 

12  O  Lord  of  hosts,  blessed  is  the 
man  that  trusteth  in  thee. 

Then  a  suitable  hymn  may  be  sung, 
after  which  the  minister  shall  say  : 

Let  us  pray. 

O  Lord  God  of  Israel,  there  is  no  God 
like  thee  in  the  heaven,  nor  in  the  earth  ; 
who  keepest  covenant  and  showest  mercy 
unto  thy  servants  that  walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  hearts.  (But  will  God  in 
very  deed  dwell  with  men  on  the  earth? 
Behold,  heaven  and  the  heaven  of  heav- 
ens cannot  contain  thee ;  how  much  less 
this  house  which  we  have  built !) 

O  Lord  our  God,  have  respect  to  the 
prayer  of  thy  servants  and  to  their  suppli- 
cations, to  hearken  unto  the  cry  and  the 
prayer  which  thy  servants  pray  before 
thee:  that  thine  eyes  may  be  open  upon 
this  house  day  and  night,  upon  the  place 
whereof  thou  hast  said  that  thou 
wouldst  put  thy  name  there  ;  to  hearken 
unto  the  prayers  which  thy  servants 
pray  toward  this  place.  Hear  thou, 
therefore,  from  thy  dwelling-place,  even 
from  heaven ;  and  when  thou  nearest, 
forgive. 

{Response  of  the  people .)     Amen. 

Now  arise,  O  Lord  God,  unto  thy 
resting-place,  thou,  and  the  ark  of  thy 
strength ;  let  thy  priests,  O  Lord  God, 
be  clothed  with  salvation,  and  let  'thy 
saints  rejoice  in  goodness. 

{Response  of  the  people  :)     Amen. 

Whensoever  thy  word  is  proclaimed  in 
this  house,  may  it  be  so  accompanied 
with  thy  Spirit  that  it  shall  not  return 
unto  thee  void,  but  be  a  savor  of  life 
unto  life,  and  that  it  may  be  said,  this  and 
that  man  was  born  there. 

{Response  of  the  people :)     Amen. 


Grant,  O  Lord,  that  all  who  may  be 
dedicated  to  thee  in  this  house,  by  the 
holy  ordinances  of  thy  Church,  may 
prove  faithful  to  their  covenant  obliga- 
tions, ever  remain  in  the  number  of  thy 
elect  children,  and  by  thy  mercy  obtain 
everlasting  life. 

{Response  of  the  people  :)     Amen. 

And  may  the  prayers  and  praises  of 
thy  people  ascend  from  this  house  like 
holy  incense,  to  be   unto   thee   a  sweet 

smelling  savor. 

{Response  of  the  people :)     Amen. 

Now,  O  Lord  God  Almighty,  who 
dost  live  and  govern  all  things,  let,  we 
beseech  thee,  thine  eyes  be  open,  and 
let  thine  ears  be  attent  unto  the  prayer 
that  is  made  in  this  place,  through  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

Then  the  following  Scripture  shall 
be  read  : 

acts  I. 

12  Then  returned  they  unto  Jerusa- 
lem from  the  mount  called  Olivet,  which 
is  from  Jerusalem  a  Sabbath-day's  jour- 
ney. 

13  And  when  they  were  come  in,  they 
went  up  into  an  upper  room,  where 
abode  both  Peter,  and  James,  and  John, 
and  Andrew,  Philip,  and  Thomas,  and 
Bartholomew,  and  Matthew,  James  the 
son  of  Alpheus,  and  Simon  Zelotes,  and 
Judas  the  brother  of  James. 

14  These  all  continued  with  one  ac- 
cord in  prayer  and  supplication,  with  the 
women,  and  Mary  the  mother  of  Jesus, 
and  with  his  brethren. 

ACTS  11. 

And  when  the  day  of  Pentecost  was 
fully  come,  they  were  all  with  one  accord 
in  one  place. 

2  And  suddenly  there  came  a  sound 
from  heaven,  as  of  a  rushing  mighty 
wind,  and  it  filled  all  the  house  where 
they  were  sitting. 


Dedication 


33 


3  And  there  appeared  unto  them 
cloven  tongues  like  as  of  fire,  and  it  sat 
upon  each  of  them. 

4  And  they  were  all  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  began  to  speak  with  other 
tongues,  as  the  Spiritgave them  utterance. 

5  And  there  were  dwelling  at  Jerusa- 
lem Jews,  devout  men,  out  of  every 
nation  under  heaven. 

6  Now  when  this  was  noised  abroad, 
the  multitude  came  together,  and  were 
confounded,  because  that  every  man 
heard  them  speak  in  his  own  language. 

7  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and 
marveled,  saying  one  to  another,  Behold, 
are  not  all  these  which  speak,  Galileans? 

8  And  how  hear  we  every  man  in  our 
cwn  tongue,  wherein  we  were  born? 

HEBREWS    X. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren,  bold- 
ness to  enter  into  the  holiest  by  the 
blood  of  Jesus, 

20  By   a  new  and    living  way,  which 


he  hath  consecrated  for  us.  through  the 
vail,  that  is  to  say,  his  flesh  ; 

21  And    having  a  high    priest   over  the 

of  God  ; 

22  Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true  heart, 
in  full  assurance  of  faith,  having  our 
hearts  sprinkled  from  an  evil  conscience, 
and  our  bodies  washed  with  pure  water. 

23  Let  us  hold  fast  the  profession  of 
our  faith  without  wavering;  for  he  is 
faithful  that  promised  : 

24  And  let  us  consider  one  another, 
to  provoke  unto  love  and  to  good  works; 

25  Not  forsaking  the  assembling  of 
ourselves  together,  as  the  manner  of 
some  is  ;  but  exhorting  one  another  :  and 
so  much  the  more,  as  ye  see  the  day  ap- 
proaching. 

Then  an  of  he?'  hymn  may  be  sung,  after 
which  the  sermon  may  be  delivered  and 
the  contributions  of  the  people  received. 

Then  may  be  read  responsi7'e/y,  or 
sung  the  Te  Deum.

If  the  collectio7i  shall  be  sufficient  to 
relieve  the  house  from  debt  (there  being 
no  fitness  in  offering  to  God  a  house  that 
belongs  to  earthly  creditors),  one  of  the 
Trustees  or  Building  Committee,  addres-

Brother ,  in    behalf  of  the   church 

and  congregation  here  assembled,  I  now 
present  you  this  house  to  be  dedicated  to 
the  worship  of  Almighty  God. 

The  minister,  address i fig  the  audience, 
shall  say  : 

Dearly  Beloved  :  The  Holy  Scriptures 
teach  us  that  God  is  well  pleased  with 
the  erection  of  temples  to  his  Holy 
Name;  and  that  houses  thus  built  for 
his  holy  worship  should  be  especially 
set  apart  and  dedicated  to  his  service. 
Moses  dedicated  the  tabernacle  in  the 
wilderness,  and  Solomon  dedicated  the 
temple  upon  Mount  Zion.  In  like  man- 
ner, devout  men  have  been  wont  to  con- 
secrate houses  to  the  worship  and  praise 
of    God    in   all    ages  of    the    Christian

Church  ;    and  for  such  a  dedication  we 
are  now  assembled. 

The  congregation  shall  rise,  and  the 
minister  shall  say  : 

Now,  to  Almighty  God,  Father,  Son, 
and  Holy  Ghost,  we,  the  ministers  of 
his  altar,  and  people  of  his  fold,  do 
most  solemnly  dedicate  this  House,  as 
was  intended,  to  be  henceforth  set  apart 
and  used  for  God's  holy  worship,  in  be- 
coming ministrations  of  the  Word  and 
ordinances,  and  in  sacred  offices  of 
prayer,  thanksgiving  and  praise ;  and 
we  devoutly  pray  that  the  Divine  pres- 
ence may  always  abide  in  this  conse- 
crated place,  and  the  Divine  benediction 
may  ever  rest  on  all  who  shall  assemble 
to  worship  here. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the 
Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost; 

As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and 
ever  shall  be,  world  without  end.    Amen. 

The  service  shall  then  be  concluded 
with  the  D oxo logy  and  the  Benediction.

Psalms  I.,  xv. 

i  Blessed  is  the  man  that  vvalketh  not 

in  the  counsel  of  the  ungodly,  nor  stand- 

eth  in  the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth  in 

the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord;  and  in  his  law  doth  he  meditate 
day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted 
by  the  rivers  of  water,  that  bringeth  forth 
his  fruit  in  his  season  ;  his  leaf  also  shall 
not  wither;  and  whatsoever  he  doeth 
shall  prosper. 

4  The  ungodly  are  not  so  :  but  are  like 
the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not 
stand  in  the  judgment,  nor  sinners  in  the 
congregation  of  the  righteous. 

6  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of 
the  righteous  :  but  the  way  of  the  ungodly 
shall  perish. 

7  Lord,  who  shall  abide  in  thy  taber- 
nacle ?  who  shall  dwell  in  thy  holy  hill  ? 

8  He  that  walketh  uprightly,  and  work- 
eth  righteousness,  and  speaketh  the  truth 
in  his  heart. 

9  He  that  backbiteth  not  with  his 
tongue,  nor  doeth  evil  to  his  neighbour, 
nor  taketh  up  a  reproach  against  his 
neighbour. 

io  In  whose  eyes  a  vile  person  is  con- 
temned ;  but  he  honoureth  them  that  fear 
the  Lord.  He  that  sweareth  to  his  own 
hurt,  and  changeth  not. 

ii  He  that  putteth  not  out  his  money 
to  usury,  nor  taketh  reward  against  the 
innocent.  He  that  doeth  these  things 
shall  never  be  moved. 


Selection  2 
Psalms  ii.,  xlv.,  6,  y. 
i  Why  do  the  heathen  rage,  and   the 
people  imagine  a  vain  thing? 

2  The  kings  of  the  earth  set  them- 
selves, and  the  rulers  take  counsel  to- 
gether, against  the  Lord,  and  against 
his  Anointed,  saying, 

3  Let  us  break  their  bands  asunder, 
and  cast  away  their  cords  from  us. 

4  He  that  sitteth  in  the  heavens  shall 
laugh  :  the  Lord  shall  have  them  in  de- 
rision. 

5  Then  shall  he  speak  unto  them  in 
his  wrath,  and  vex  them  in  his  sore  dis- 
pleasure. 

6  Yet  have  I  set  my  King  upon  my 
holy  hill  of  Zion. 

7  I  will  declare  the  decree :  the  Lord 
hath  said  unto  me,  Thou  art  my  Son; 
this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

8  Ask  of  me,  and  I  shall  give  thee  the 
heathen  for  thine  inheritance,  and  the 
uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  thy  pos- 
session. 

9  Thou  shalt  break  them  with  a  rod  of 
iron  ;  thou  shalt  dash  them  in  pieces  like 
a  potter's  vessel. 

io  Be  wise  now  therefore,  O  ye  kings : 
be  instructed,  ye  judges  of  the  earth. 

ii  Serve  the  Lord  with  fear,  and  re- 
joice with  trembling. 

12  Kiss  the  Son,  lest  he  be  angry,  and 
ye  perish  from  the  way,  when  his  wrath 
is  kindled  but  a  little.  Blessed  are  all 
they  that  put  their  trust  in  him. 

13  Thy  throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever  and 
ever:  the  sceptre  of  thy  kingdom  is  a 
right  sceptre. 

14  Thou  lovest  righteousness,  and 
hatest  wickedness:  therefore  God,  thy 
God,  hath  anointed  thee  with  the  oil  of 
gladness  above  thy  fellows.

Psalms  iv.,  v.,  3-7,  12. 

1  Hear  me  when  I  call,  O  God  of  my 
righteousness:  thou  hast  enlarged  me 
when  I  was  in  distress  ;  have  mercy  upon 
me,  and  hear  my  prayer. 

2  O  ye  sons  of  men,  how  long  will  ye 
tui'n  my  glory  into  shame?  how  long  will 
ye  love  vanity,  and  seek  after  leasing? 

3  But  know  that  the  Lord  hath  set 
apart  him  that  is  godly  for  himself:  the 
Lord  will  hear  when  I  call  unto  him. 

4  Stand  in  awe,  and  sin  not :  commune 
with  your  own  heart  upon  your  bed,  and 
be  still. 

5  Offer  the  sacrifices  of  righteousness, 
and  put  your  trust  in  the  Lord. 

6  There  be  many  that  say,  Who  will 
shew  us  any  good  ?  Lord,  lift  thou  up 
the  light  of  thy  countenance  upon  us. 

7  Thou  hast  put  gladness  in  my  heart, 
more  than  in  the  time  that  their  corn  and 
their  wine  increased. 

8  I  will  both  lay  me  down  in  peace, 
and  sleep :  for  thou,  Lord,  only  makest 
me  dwell  in  safety. 

9  My  voice  shalt  thou  hear  in  the  morn- 
ing, O  Lord  ;  in  the  morning  will  I  direct 
my  prayer  unto  thee,  and  will  look  up. 

10  For  thou  art  not  a  God  that  hath 
pleasure  in  wickedness:  neither  shall  evil 
dwell  with  thee. 

11  The  foolish  shall  not  stand  in  thy 
sight:  thou  hatest  all  workers  of  iniquity. 

12  Thou  shalt  destroy  them  that  speak 
leasing:  the  Lord  will  abhor  the  bloody 
and  deceitful  man. 

13  But  as  for  me,  I  will  come  into  thy 
house  in  the  multitude  of  thy  mercy  :  and 
in  thy  fear  will  I  worship  toward  thy  holy 
temple. 

14  For  thou,  Lord,  wilt  bless  the 
righteous  ;  with  favour  wilt  thou  compass 
him  as  with  a  shield.

Psalms  viil,  cxl,  2-8. 

1  O  Lord  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is 
thy  name  in  all  the  earth !  who  hast  set' 
thy  glory  above  the  heavens. 

2  Out  of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  suck- 
lings hast  thou  ordained  strength  because 
of  thine  enemies,  that  thou  mightest  still 
the  enemy  and  the  avenger. 

3  When  I  consider  thy  heavens,  the 
work  of  thy  fingers,  the  moon  and  the 
stars,  which  thou  hast  ordained  ; 

4  What  is  man,  that  thou  art  mindful 
of  him  ?  and  the  son  of  man,  that  thou 
visitest  nim  ? 

5  For  thou  hast  made  him  a  little  lower 
than  the  angels,  and  hast  crowned  him 
with  glory  and  honour. 

6  Thou  madest  him  to  have  dominion 
over  the  works  of  thy  hands ;  thou  hast 
put  all  things  under  his  feet; 

7  All  sheep  and  oxen,  yea,  and  the 
beasts  of  the  field  , 

8  The  fowl  of  the  air,  and  the  fish  of 
the  sea,  and  whatsoever  passeth  through 
the  paths  of  the  seas. 

9  O  Lord  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is 
thy  name  in  all  the  earth  ! 

10  The  works  of  the  Lord  are  great, 
sought  out  of  all  them  that  have  pleasure 
therein. 

11  His  work  is  honourable  and  glorious: 
and  his  righteousness  endureth  for  ever. 

12  He  hath  made  his  wonderful  works 
to  be  remembered  :  the  Lord  is  gracious 
and  full  of  compassion. 

13  He  hath  given  meat  unto  them  that 
fear  him:  he  will  ever  be  mindful  of  his 
covenant. 

14  He  hath  shewed  his  people  the 
power  of  his  works,  that  he  may  give  them 
the  heritage  of  the  heathen. 

15  The  works  of  his  hands  are  verity 
and  judgment;  all  his  commandments 
are  sure. 

16  They  stand  fast  for  ever  and  ever, 
and  are  done  in  truth  and  uprightness.

Psalm  ix,  1-14. 

1  I  will  praise  thec,  O  Lord,  with 
my  whole  heart ;  I  will  shew  forth  all  thy 
marvellous  works. 

2  I  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  thee:  I 
will  sing  praise  to  thy  name,  O  thou 
Most  High. 

3  When  mine  enemies  are  turned  back, 
they  shall  fall  and  perish  at  thy  presence. 

4  For  thou  hast  maintained  my  right 
and  my  cause  ;  thou  satest  in  the  throne 
judging  right. 

5  Thou  hast  rebuked  the  heathen,  thou 
hast  destroyed  the  wicked,  thou  hast  put 
out  their  name  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  O  thou  enemy,  destructions  are  come 
to  a  perpetual  end :  and  thou  hast  de- 
stroyed cities  ;  their  memorial  is  perished 
with  them. 

7  But  the  Lord  shall  endure  for  ever: 
he  hath  prepared  his  throne  for  judg- 
ment. 

8  And  he  shall  judge  the  world  in 
righteousness,  he  shall  minister  judgment 
to  the  people  in  uprightness. 

9  The  Lord  also  will  be  a  refuge  for 
the  oppressed,  a  refuge  in  times  of 
trouble. 

10  And  they  that  know  thy  name  will 
put  their  trust  in  thee:  for  thou,  Lord, 
hast  not  forsaken  them  that  seek  thee. 

11  Sing  praises  to  the  Lord,  which 
dwelleth  in  Zion :  declare  among  the 
people  his  doings. 

12  When  he  maketh  inquisition  for 
blood,  he  remembereth  them  :  he  forget- 
teth  not  the  cry  of  the  humble. 

13  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  Lord; 
consider  my  trouble  which  I  suffer  of 
them  that  hate  me,  thou  that  liftest  me 
up  from  the  gates  of  death  : 

14  That  I  may  shew  forth  all  thy 
praise  in  the  gates  of  the  daughter  of 
Zion:  I  will  rejoice  in  thy  salvation.

Psalms  xl,  xiii.,  xiv.,  7. 

1  In  the  Lord  put  I  my  trust:  how 
say  ye  to  my  soul,  Flee  as  a  bird  to  your 
mountain  ? 

2  For,  lo,  the  wicked  bend  their  bow, 
they  make  ready  their  arrow  upon  the 
string,  that  they  may  privily  shoot  at  the 
upright  in  heart. 

3  If  the  foundations  be  destroyed, 
what  can  the  righteous  do? 

4  The  Lord  is  in  his  holy  temple,  the 
Lord's  throne  is  in  heaven:  his  eyes 
behold,  his  eyelids  try,  the  children  of 
men. 

5  The  Lord  trieth  the  righteous:  but 
the  wicked  and  him  that  loveth  violence 
his  soul  hateth. 

6  Upon  the  wicked  he  shall  rain  snares, 
fire  and  brimstone,  and  a  horrible  tem- 
pest: this  shall  be  the  portion  of  their  cup. 

7  For  the  righteous  Lord  loveth 
righteousness,  his  countenance  doth  be- 
hold the  upright. 

8  How  long  wilt  thou  forget  me,  O 
Lord?  for  ever?  how  long  wilt  thou 
hide  thy  face  from  me  ? 

9  How  long  shall  I  take  counsel  in  my 
soul,  having  sorrow  in  my  heart  daily? 
how  long  shall  mine  enemy  be  exalted 
over  me? 

10  Consider  and  hear  me,  O  Lord  my 
God :  lighten  mine  eyes,  lest  I  sleep  the 
sleep  of  death ; 

11  Lest  mine  enemy  say,  I  have  pre- 
vailed against  him  ;  and  those  that 
trouble  me  rejoice  when  I  am  moved. 

12  But  I  have  trusted  in  thy  mercy; 
my  heart  shall  rejoice  in  thy  salvation. 

13  I  will  sing  unto  the  Lord,  because 
he  hath  dealt  bountifully  with  me. 

14  Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Israel  wtrt 
come  out  of  Zion  !  when  the  Lord  bring- 
eth  back  the  captivity  of  his  people,  Jacob 
shall  rejoice,  and  Israel  shall  be  glad.

2  O  my  soul,  thou  hast  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Thou  art  my  Lord  :  my  goodness 
extendeth  not  to  thee  ; 

3  But  to  the  saints  that  are  in  the

4  Their  sorrows  shall  be  multiplied

nor  take  up  their  names  into  my  lips.

6  The  lines  are  fallen  unto  me  in 
pleasant  places;  yea,  I  have  a  goodly 
heritage. 

7  I  will  bless  the  Lord,  who  hath 
given  me  counsel :  my  reins  also  instruct 
me  in  the  night  seasons. 

8  I  have  set  the  Lord  always  before

shall  not  be  moved. 

9  Therefore  my  heart  is  glad,  and  my 
glory  rejoiceth :  my  flesh  also  shall  rest 
in  hope. 

10  For  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul  in 
hell ;  neither  wilt  thou  suffer  thine  Holy 
One  to  see  corruption. 

11  Thou  wilt  shew  me  the  path  of  life: 
in  thy  presence  is  fullness  of  joy;  at  thy

1  The  heavens  declare  the  glory  of 
God ;  and  the  firmament  sheweth  his 
handywork. 

2  Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech,  and 
night  unto  night  sheweth  knowledge. 

3  There  is  no  speech  nor  language, 
where  their  voice  is  not  heard. 

4  Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the 
earth,  and  their  words  to  the  end  of  the 
world.  In  them  hath  he  set  a  tabernacle 
for  the  sun, 

5  Which  is  as  a  bridegroom  coming 
out  of  his  chamber,  and  rejoiceth  as  a 
strong  man  to  run  a  race. 

6  His  going  forth  is  from  the  end  of

of  it:  and  there  is  nothing  hid  from  the 
heat  thereof. 

7  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  con- 
verting the  soul :  the  testimony  of  the 
Lord  is  sure,  making  wise  the  simple. 

8  The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are  right, 
rejoicing  the  heart:  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  is  pure,  enlightening  the 
eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  en- 
during for  ever:  the  judgments  of  the 
Lord  are  true  and  righteous  altogether. 

10  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than 
gold,  yea,  than  much  fine  gold:  sweeter 
also  than  honey  and  the  honeycomb. 

11  Moreover  by  them  is  thy  servant 
warned  :  and  in  keeping  of  them  there  is 
great  reward. 

12  Who  can  understand  his  errors? 
cleanse  thou  me  from  secret  faults. 

13  Keep  back  thy  servant  also  from 
presumptuous  sins ;  let  them  not  have 
dominion  over  me  :  then  shall  I  be  up- 
right, and  I  shall  be  innocent  from  the 
great  transgression. 

14  Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the 
meditation  of  my  heart,  be  acceptable  in 
thy  sight,  O  LORD,  my  strength,  and  my 
redeemer.

i  The  king  shall  joy  in  thy  strength, 
O  Lord  ;  and  in  thy  salvation  how  greatly 
shall  he  rejoice  J 

2  Thou  hast  given  him  his  heart's 
desire,  and  hast  not  withholden  the  re- 
quest of  his  lips. 

3  For  thou  preventest  him  with  the 
blessings  of  goodness:  thou  settest  a 
crown  of  pure  gold  on  his  head. 

4  He  asked  life  of  thee,  and  thou  gav- 
est  it  him,  even  length  of  days  for  ever 
and  ever. 

5  His  glory  is  great  in  thy  salvation: 
honour  and  majesty  hast  thou  laid  upon 
him. 

6  For  thou  hast  made  him  most  blessed 
for  ever :  thou  hast  made  him  exceeding 
glad  with  thy  countenance. 

7  For  the  king  trusteth  in  the  Lord, 
and  through  the  mercy  of  the  Most  High 
he  shall  not  be  moved. 

8  Thine  hand  shall  find  out  all  thine 
enemies:  thy  right  hand  shall  find  out 
those  that  hate  thee. 

9  Thou  shalt  make  them  as  a  fiery 
oven  in  the  time  of  thine  anger :  the  Lord 
shall  swallow  them  up  in  his  wrath,  and 
the  fire  shall  devour  them. 

io  Their  fruit  shalt  thou  destroy  from 
the  earth,  and  their  seed  from  among  the 
children  of  men. 

ii  For  they  intended  evil  against  thee  : 
they  imagined  a  mischievous  device, 
which  they  are  not  able  to  perform. 

12  Therefore  shalt  thou  make  them 
turn  their  back,  when  thou  shalt  make 
ready  thine  arrows  upon  thy  strings 
against  the  face  of  them. 

13  Be  thou  exalted,  Lord,  in  thine 
own  strength:  so  will  we  sing  and  praise 
thy  power.

1  Unto  thee,  O  Lord,  do  I  lift  up  my 
soul. 

2  O  my  God,  I  trust  in  thee:  let  me 
not  be  ashamed,  let  not  mine  enemies  tri- 
umph over  me. 

3  Yea,  let  none  that  wait  on  thee  be 
ashamed :  let  them  be  ashamed  which 
transgress  without  cause. 

4  Shew  me  thy  ways,  O  Lord;  teach 
me  thy  paths. 

5  Lead  me  in  thy  truth,  and  teach  me  : 
for  thou  art  the  God  of  my  salvation  ;  on 
thee  do  I  wait  all  the  day. 

6  Remember,  O  Lord,  thy  tender  mer- 
cies and  thy  lovingkindnesses ;  for  they 
have  been  ever  of  old. 

7  Remember  not  the  sins  of  my  youth, 
nor  my  transgressions:  according  to  thy 
mercy  remember  thou  me  for  thy  good- 
ness' sake,  O  Lord. 

8  Good  and  upright  is  the  Lord: 
therefore  will  he  teach  sinners  in  the 
way. 

9  The  meek  will  he  guide  in  judg- 
ment :  and  the  meek  will  he  teach  his 
way. 

10  All  the  paths  of  the  Lord  are 
mercy  and  truth  unto  such  as  keep  his 
covenant  and  his  testimonies. 

1 1  For  thy  name's  sake,  O  Lord,  par- 
don mine  iniquity  ;  for  it  is  great. 

12  What  man  is  he  that  feareth  the 
Lord?  him  shall  he  teach  in  the  way 
that  he  shall  choose. 

13  His  soul  shall  dwell  at  ease;  and 
his  seed  shall  inherit  the  earth. 

14  The  secret  of  the  Lord  is  with  them 
that  fear  him ;  and  he  will  shew  them 
his  covenant. 

15  Mine  eyes  arc  ever  toward  the 
Lord  ;  for  he  shall  pluck  my  feet  out  of 
the  net. 

16  O  keep  my  soul,  and  deliver  me: 
let  me  not  be  ashamed;  for  I  put  my 
trust  in  thee.

Psalm  xxvii.,  hi,  14. 

1  The  Lord  is  my  light  and  my  salva- 
tion ;  whom  shall  I  fear?  the  Lord  is 
the  strength  of  my  life  ;  of  whom  shall  I 
be  afraid  ? 

2  When  the  wicked,  even  mine  enemies 
and  my  foes,  came  upon  me  to  eat  up  my 
flesh,  they  stumbled  and  fell. 

3  Though  a  host  should  encamp 
against  me,  my  heart  shall  not  fear: 
though  war  should  rise  against  me,  in 
this  will  I  be  confident. 

4  One  thing  have  I  desired  of  the 
Lord,  that  will  I  seek  after  ;  that  I  may 
dwell  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  all  the 
days  of  my  life,  to  behold  the  beauty  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  inquire  in  his  temple. 

5  For  in  the  time  of  trouble  he  shall 
hide  me  in  his  pavilion:  in  the  secret  of 
his  tabernacle  shall  he  hide  me ;  he  shall 
set  me  up  upon  a  rock. 

6  And  now  shall  mine  head  be  lifted 
up  above  mine  enemies  round  about  me  : 
therefore  will  I  offer  in  his  tabernacle 
sacrifices  of  joy  ;  I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will 
sing  praises  unto  the  Lord. 

7  Hear,  O  Lord,  when  I  cry  with  my 
voice:  have  mercy  also  upon  me,  and 
answer  me. 

8  When  thou  saidst,  Seek  ye  my  face  ; 
my  heart  said  unto  thee,  Thy  face,  Lord, 
will  I  seek. 

9  Hide  not  thy  face  far  from  me;  put 
not  thy  servant  away  in  anger:  thou  hast 
been  my  help  ;  leave  me  not,  neither  for- 
sake me,  O  God  of  my  salvation. 

10  When  my  father  and  my  mother 
forsake  me,  then  the  Lord  will  take  me 
up. 

11  Teach  me  thy  way,  O  Lord,  and 
lead  me  in  a  plain  path,  because  of  mine 
enemies. 

12  Wait  on  the  Lord:  be  of  good 
courage,  and  he  shall  strengthen  thine 
heart:  wait,  I  say,  on  the  Lord.

the  voice  of  the  Lord  is  full  of  majesty. 

5  The  voice  of  the  Lord  breaketh  the

cedars  of   Lebanon. 

6  He  maketh  them  also  to  skip  like  a

yea,  the  Lord  sitteth  King  for  ever.

his  people ;  the  Lord  will  bless  his  peo-

12  Make  a  joyful  noise  unto  the  Lord, 
all  ye  lands. 

13  Serve  the  Lord  with  gladness: 
come  before  his  presence  with  singing. 

14  Know  ye  that  the  Lord  he  is  God  : 
it  is  he  that  hath  made  us,  and  not  we 
ourselves ;  we  are  his  people,  and  the 
sheep  of  his  pasture. 

15  Enter  into  his  gates  with  thanks- 
giving, and  into  his  courts  with  praise  :  be

1  I  will  extol  thee,  0  LORD;  for  thou 
hast  lifted  me  up,  and  hast  not  made, my 
foes  to  rejoice  over  me. 

2  O  Lord  my  God,  I  cried  unto  thee, 
and  thou  hast  healed  me. 

3  O  Lord,  thou  hast  brought  up  my 
soul  from  the  grave :  thou  hast  kept  me 
alive,  that  I  should  not  go  down  to  the 
pit. 

4  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye  saints  of 
his,  and  give  thanks  at  the  remembrance 
of  his  holiness. 

5  For  his  anger  endureth  but  a  mo- 
ment; in  his  favour  is  life  :  weeping  may 
endure  for  a  night,  but  joy  cometh  in  the 
morning. 

6  And  in  my  prosperity  I  said,  I  shall 
never  be  moved. 

7  Lord,  by  thy  favour  thou  hast  made 
my  mountain  to  stand  strong:  thou  didst 
hide  thy  face,  and  I  was  troubled. 

8  I  cried  to  thee,  O  Lord  ;  and  unto 
the  Lord  I  made  supplication. 

9  What  profit  is  there  in  my  blood, 
when  I  go  down  to  the  pit?  Shall  the 
dust  praise  thee?  shall  it  declare  thy 
truth? 

10  Hear,  O  Lord,  and  have  mercy 
upon  me  :  Lord,  be  thou  my  helper. 

1 1  Thou  hast  turned  for  me  my  mourn- 
ing into  dancing:  thou  hast  put  off  my 
sackcloth,  and  girded  me  with  gladness; 

12  To  the  end  that  my  glory  may  sing- 
praise  to  thee,  and  not  be  silent.  O 
LORD  my  God,  I  will  give  thanks  unto 
thee  for  ever. 

13  Oh  how  great  is  thy  goodness, 
which  thou  hast  laid  up  for  them  that 
fear  thee ;  which  thou  hast  wrought  for 
them  that  trust  in  thee  before  the  sons 
of  men ! 

14  Thou  shalt  hide  them  in  the  secret 
of  thy  presence  from  the  pride  of  man: 
thou  shalt  keep  them  secretly  in  a  pavilion 
irom  the  strife  of  tongues.

1  Blessed  is  hewhose  transgression  is 

forgiven,  -whose  sin  it  covered. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom  the 
LORD  imputeth  not  iniquity,  and  in 
whose  spirit  there  is  no  guile. 

3  When  I  kept  silence,  my  bones 
waxed  old  through  my  roaring  all  the 
day  long. 

4  For  day  and  night  thy  hand  was 
heavy  upon  me:  my  moisture  is  turned 
into  the  drought  of  summer. 

5  I  acknowledged  my  sin  unto  thee, 
and  mine  iniquity  have  I  not  hid.  I  said, 
I  will  confess  my  transgressions  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of 
my  sin. 

6  For  this  shall  every  one  that  is 
godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a  time  when  thou 
mayest  be  found  :  surely  in  the  floods  of 
great  waters  they  shall  not  come  nigh 
unto  him. 

7  Thou  art  my  hiding  place;  thou 
shalt  preserve  me  from  trouble ;  thou 
shalt  compass  me  about  with  songs  of 
deliverance. 

8  I  will  instruct  thee  and  teach  thee 
in  the  way  which  thou  shalt  go:  I  will 
guide  thee  with  mine  eye. 

„  9  Be  ye  not  as  the  horse,  or  as  the 
mule,  which  have  no  understanding: 
whose  mouth  must  be  held  in  with  bit 
and  bridle,  lest  they  come  near  unto 
thee. 

10  Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the 
wicked:  but  he  that  trusteth  in  the 
Lord,  mercy  shall  compass  him   about.

ye  righteous:  and  shout  for  joy,  all  ye 
that  are  upright  in  heart.

for  the  Lord  preserveth  the  faithful,  and 
plentifully  rewardeth  the  proud  doer.

strengthen  your  heart,  all  ye  that  hope  in

6  By  the  word  of  the  Lord  were  the 
heavens  made;  and  all  the  host  of  them

and  why  art  thou  disquieted  in  me?  hope

enemy? 

10  As  with  a  sword  in  my  bones,  mine 
enemies  reproach  me ;  while  they  say 
daily  unto  me,  Where  is  thy  God? 

1 1  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  O  my  soul  ? 
and  why  art  thou  disquieted  within  me? 
hope  thou  in  God :  for  I  shall  yet  praise 
him,  who  is  the  health  of  my  countenance, 
and  my  God. 

12  Be  pleased,  O  Lord,  to  deliver  me: 
O  Lord,  make  haste  to  help  me.

Psalms  xlvi.,  xlvii.,  3-7. 

1  God  is  our  refuge  and  strength,  a 
very  present  help  in  trouble. 

2  Therefore  will  not  we  fear,  though 
the  earth  be  removed,  and  though  the 
mountains  be  carried  into  the  midst  of 
the  sea ; 

3  Though  the  waters  thereof  roar  and 
be  troubled,  though  the  mountains  shake 
with  the  swelling  thereof. 

4  There  is  a  river,  the  streams  whereof 
shall  make  glad  the  city  of  God,  the  holy 
place  of  the  tabernacles  of  the  Most 
High. 

5  God  is  in  the  midst  of  her  ;  she  shall 
not  be  moved  :  God  shall  help  her,  and 
that  right  early. 

6  The  heathen  raged,  the  kingdoms 
were  moved  :  he  uttered  his  voice,  the 
earth  melted. 

7  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us;  the 
God  of  Jacob  is  our  refuge. 

8  Come,  behold  the  works  of  the  Lord, 
what  desolations  he  hath  made  in  the 
earth.  1 

9  He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto  the 
end  of  the  earth ;  he  breaketh  the  bow, 
and  cutteth  the  spear  in  sunder  ;  he  burn- 
etii the  chariot  in  the  fire. 

10  Be  still,  and  know  that  I  am  God : 
I  will  be  exalted  among  the  heathen,  I 
will  be  exalted  in  the  earth. 

n  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us;  the 
God  of  Jacob  is  our  refuge. 

12  He  shall  subdue  the  people  under 
us,  and  the  nations  under  our  feet. 

13  He  shall  choose  our  inheritance  for 
us,  the  excellency  of  Jacob  whom  he 
loved. 

14  God  is  gone  up  with  a  shout,  the 
Lord  with  the  sound  of  a  trumpet. 

15  Sing  praises  to  God,  sing  praises: 
sing  praises  unto  our  King,  sing  praises. 

16  For  God  is  the  King  of  all  the  earth  : 
sing  ye  praises  with  understanding.

Psalms  xlviil,  cxxv.,  1-2. 

1  Great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly  tc 
be  praised  in  the  city  of  our  God,  in  the 
mountain  of  his  holiness. 

2  Beautiful  for  situation,  the  joy  of  the 
whole  earth,  is  mount  Zion,  on  the  sides 
of  the  north,  the  city  of  the  great  King. 

3  God  is  known  in  her  palaces  for  a 
refuge. 

4  For,  lo,  the  kings  were  assembled, 
they  passed  by  together. 

5  They  saw  it,  and  so  they  marvelled  ; 
they  were  troubled,  and  hasted  away. 

6  Fear  took  hold  upon  them  there,  and 
pain,  as  of  a  woman  in  travail. 

7  Thou  breakest  the  ships  of  Tarshish 
with  an  east  wind. 

8  As  we  have  heard,  so  have  we  seen 
in  the  city  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  the 
city  of  our  God:  God  will  establish  it  for 
ever. 

9  We  have  thought  of  thy  loving  kind- 
ness, O  God,  in  the  midst  of  thy  temple. 

10  According  to  thy  name,  O  God,  so 
is  thy  praise  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth : 
thy  right  hand  is  full  of  righteousness. 

11  Let  mount  Zion  rejoice,  let  the 
daughters  of  Judah  be  glad,  because  of 
thy  judgments. 

12  Walk  about  Zion,  and  go  round 
about  her  :  tell  the  towers  thereof. 

13  Mark  ye  well  her  bulwarks,  con- 
sider her  palaces ;  that  ye  may  tell  it  to 
the  generation  following. 

14  For  this  God  is  our  God  for  ever 
and  ever  :  he  will  be  our  guide  even  unto 
death. 

15  They  that  trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be 
as  mount  Zion,  which  cannot  be  removed, 
but  abideth  for  ever. 

16  As  the  mountains  are  round  about 
Jerusalem,  so  the  Lord  is  round  about 
his  peoplefrom  henceforth  even  for  ever.

i  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  God,  ac- 
cording to  thy  lovingkindness :  accord- 
ing unto  the  multitude  of  thy  tender 
mercies  blot  out  my  transgressions. 

2  Wash  me  thoroughly  from  mine 
iniquity,  and  cleanse  me  from  my  sin. 

3  For  I  acknowledge  my  transgres- 
sions :  and  my  sin  is  ever  before  me. 

4  Against  thee,  thee  only,  have  I 
sinned,  and  done  this  evil  in  thy  sight : 
that  thou  mightest  be  justified  when  thou 
speakest,  and  be  clear  when  thou  judgest. 

5  Behold,  I  was  shapen  in  iniquity; 
and  in  sin  did  my  mother  conceive  me. 

6  Behold,  thou  desirest  truth  in  the 
inward  parts:  and  in  the  hidden  part 
thou  shalt  make  me  to  know  wisdom. 

7  Purge  me  with  hyssop,  and  I  shall 
be  clean :  wash  me,  and  I  shall  be  whiter 
than  snow. 

8  Make  me  to  hear  joy  and  gladness  ; 
that  the  bones  which  thou  hast  broken 
may  rejoice. 

9  Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins,  and 
blot  out  all  mine  iniquities. 

io  Create  in  me  a  clean  heart,  O  God ; 
and  renew  a  right  spirit  within  me. 

1 1  Cast  me  not  away  from  thy  presence ; 
and  take  not  thy  Holy  Spirit  from  me. 

12  Restore  unto  me  the  joy  of  thy  salva- 
tion ;  and  uphold  me  with  thy  free  Spirit. 

13  Then  will  I  teach  transgressors  thy 
ways ;  and  sinners  shall  be  converted 
unto  thee. 

14  Deliver  me  from  bloodguiltiness, 
O  God,  thou  God  of  my  salvation :  and 
my  t;>ngue  shall  sing  aloud  of  thy  right- 
eousness. 

15  O  Lord,  open  thou  my  lips  ;  and 
my  mouth  shall  shew  forth  thy  praise. 

16  For  thou  desirest  not  sacrifice ; 
else  would  I  give  it:  thou  delightest  not 
in  burnt  offering. 

17  The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken 
spirit:  a  broken  and  a  contrite  heart,  O 
God,  thou  wilt  not  despise. 


18  Do  good  in  thy  good  pleasure  unto 
Zion:  build  thou  the  walls  of  Jerusalem. 

19  Then  shalt  thou  be  pleased  with 
the  sacrifices  of  righteousness,  with 
burnt  offering  and  whole  burnt  offering : 
then  shall  they  offer  bullocks  upon  thine 
altar.

1  Truly  my  soul  waiteth  upon  God  : 
from  him  cometh  my  salvation. 

2  He  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salva- 
tion :  he  is  my  defence  ;  I  shall  not  be 
greatly  moved. 

3  How  long  will  ye  imagine  mischief 
against  a  man  ?  ye  shall  be  slain  all  of 
you:  as  a  bowing  wall  shall  ye  be,  and 
as  a  tottering  fence. 

4  They  only  consult  to  cast  him 
down  from  his  excellency :  they  delight 
in  lies:  they  bless  with  their  mouth,  but 
they  curse  inwardly. 

5  My  soul,  wait  thou  only  upon  God; 
for  my  expectation  is  from  him. 

6  He  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salva-

moved. 

7  In  God  is  my  salvation  and  my 
glory:  the  rock  of  my  strength,  and  my 
refuge,  is  in  God. 

8  Trust  in  him  at  all  times  ;  ye  people, 
pour  out  your  heart  before  him  :  God  is 
a  refuge  for  us. 

9  Surely  men  of  low  degree  are  vanity, 
and  men  of  high  degree  are  a  lie  :  to  be 
laid  in  the  balance,  they  are  altogether 
ligJitcr  than  vanity. 

10  Trust  not  in  oppression,  and  be- 
come not  vain  in  robbery :  if  riches  in- 
crease, set  not  your  heart  upon  them. 

n  God  hath  spoken  once;  twice  have 
I  heard  this  ;  that  power  belongeth  unto 
God. 

12  Also  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  belongeth 
mercy:  for  thou  renderest  to  every  man 
according  to  his  work.

1  O  God,  thou  art  my  God  ;  early  will 
I  seek  thee:  my  soul  thirsteth  for  thee, 
my  flesh  longeth  for  thee  in  a  dry  and 
thirsty  land,  where  no  water  is; 

2  To  see  thy  power  and  thy  glory,  so 
as  I  have  seen  thee  in  the  sanctuary. 

3  Because  thy  lovingkindness  is  better 
than  life,  my  lips  shall  praise  thee. 

4  Thus  will  I  bless  thee  while  I  live:  I 
will  lift  up  my  hands  in  thy  name. 

5  My  soul  shall  be  satisfied  as  with 
marrow  and  fatness  ;  and  my  mouth  shall 
praise  thee  with  joyful  lips: 

6  When  I  remember  thee  upon  my  bed, 
a?id  meditate  on  thee  in  the  night  watches. 

7  Because  thou  hast  been  my  help, 
therefore  in  the  shadow  of  thy  wings  will 
I  rejoice. 

8  My  soul  followeth  hard  after  thee: 
thy  right  hand  upholdeth  me. 

9  But  those  that  seek  my  soul,  to  de- 
stroy it,  shall  go  into  the  lower  parts  of 
the  earth. 

10  They  shall  fall  by  the  sword:  they

11  But  the  king  shall  rejoice  in  God: 
every  one  that  sweareth  by  him  shall 
glory  :  but  the  mouth  of  them  that  speak 
lies  shall  be  stopped. 

12  For  thou  hast  been  a  shelter  for  me, 
and  a.  strong  tower  from  the  enemy. 

13  I  will  abide  in  thy  tabernacle  for 
ever:  I  will  trust  in  the  covertof  thy  wings.

vows:  thou  hast  given  me  the  heritage  of

preparest  them  corn,  when  thou  hast  so 
provided  for  it. 

10  Thou  waterest  the  ridges  thereof 
abundantly:  thou  settlest  the  furrows 
thereof:  thou  makest  it  soft  with  show-

Psalm  lxxiil,  1-17,  25,  26. 

1  Truly  God  is  good  to  Israel,  even 
to  such  as  are  of  a  clean  heart. 

2  But  as  for  me,  my  feet  were  almost 
gone  ;  my  steps  had  well  nigh  slipped. 

3  For  I  was  envious  at  the  foolish, 
when  I  saw  the  prosperity  of  the  wicked. 

4  For  there  are  no  bands  in  their  death: 
but  their  strength  is  firm. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as  other 
men  ;  neither  are  they  plagued  like  other 
men. 

6  Therefore  pride  compasseth  them 
about  as  a  chain  ;  violence  covereth  them 
as  a  garment. 

7  Their  eyes  stand  out  with  fatness : 
they  have  more  than  heart  could  wish. 

8  They  are  corrupt,  and  speak  wickedly 
concerning- oppression. :  they  speak  loftily. 

9  They  set  their  mouth  against  the 
heavens,  and  their  tongue  walketh  through 
the  earth. 

10  Therefore  his  people  return  hither: 
and  waters  of  a  full  cup  are  wrung  out  to 
them. 

1 1  And  they  say,  How  doth  God  know? 
and  is  there  knowledge  in  the  Most  High  ? 

12  Behold,  these  are  the  ungodly,  who 
prosper  in  the  world ;  they  increase  in 
riches. 

13  Verily  I  have  cleansed  my  heart  in 
vain,  and  washed  my  hands  in  innocency. 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have  I  been 
plagued,  and  chastened  every  morning. 

15  If  I  say,  I  will  speak  thus;  behold, 
I  should  offend  against  the  generation  of 
thy  children. 

16  When  I  thought  to  know  this,  it  was 
too  painful  for  me  ; 

17  Until  I  went  into  the  sanctuary  of

18  Whom  have  I  in  heaven  but  thee  ? 
and  there  is  none  upon  earth  that  I  desire 
besides  thee. 

19  My  flesh  and  my  heart  faileth :  but 
God  is  the  strength  of  my  heart,  and  my 
portion  for  ever.

Psalm  lxxxi. 
i    Sing  aloud  unto  God  our  strength  : 
make   a  joyful   noise    unto   the   God  of 
Jacob. 

2  Take  a  psalm,  and  bring  hither  the 
timbrel,  the  pleasant  harp  with  the 
psaltery. 

3  Blow  up  the  trumpet  in  the  new 
moon,  in  the  time  appointed,  on  our 
solemn  feast  day. 

4  For  this  was  a  statute  for  Israel, 
and  a  law  of  the  God  of  Jacob. 

5  This  he  ordained  in  Joseph  for  a 
testimony,  when  he  went  out  through  the 
land  of  Egypt:  where  I  heard  a  lan- 
guage that  I  understood  not. 

6  I  removed  his  shoulder  from  the 
burden  :  his  hands  were  delivered  from 
the  pots. 

7  Thou  calledst  in  trouble,  and  I  de- 
livered thee ;  I  answered  thee  in  the 
secret  place  of  thunder:  I  proved  thee 
at  the  waters  of  Meribah. 

8  Hear,  O  my  people,  and  I  will  tes- 
tify unto  thee:  O  Israel,  if  thou  wilt 
hearken  unto  me  ; 

9  There  shall  no  strange  god  be  in 
thee  ;  neither  shalt  thou  worship  any 
strange  god. 

io  I  am  the  LORD  thy  God,  which 
brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt: 
open  thy  mouth  wide,  and  I  will  fill  it. 

ii  But  my  people  would  not  hearken 
to  my  voice ;  and  Israel  would  none  of 
me. 

12  So  I  gave  them  up  unto  their  own 
hearts'  lust :  and  they  walked  in  their 
own  counsels. 

13  O  that  my  people  had  hearkened 
unto  me,  and  Israel  had  walked  in  my 
ways ! 

14  I  should  soon  have  subdued  their 
enemies,  and  turned  my  hand  against 
their  adversaries. 

15  The  haters  of  the  Lord  should 
have  submitted  themselves  unto  him  : 
but  their  time  should  have  endured  for 
ever. 

16  He  should  have  fed  them  also  with 
the  finest  of  the  wheat :  and  with  honey 
out  of  the  rock  should  I  have  satisfied 
thee.

Psalms  lxxxv.,  lxxxix.,  14-16. 

1  Lord,  thou  hast  been  favourable  un- 
to thy  land:  thou  hast  brought  back  the 
captivity  of  JacoD. 

2  Thou  hast  forgiven  the  iniquity  of 
thy  people;  thou  hast  covered  all  their 
sin. 

3  Thou  hast  taken  away  all  thy  wrath  : 
thou  hast  turned  thyself  from  the  fierce- 
ness of  thine  anger. 

4  Turn  us,  O  God  of  our  salvation, 
and  cause  thine  anger  toward  us  to 
cease. 

5  Wilt  thou  be  angry  with  us  for  ever  ? 
wilt  thou  draw  out  thine  anger  to  all  gen- 
erations? 

6  Wilt  thou  not  revive  us  again :  that 
thy  people  may  rejoice  in  thee? 

7  Shew  us  thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  and 
grant  us  thy  salvation. 

8  I  will  hear  what  God  the  Lord  will 
speak  :  for  he  will  speak  peace  unto  his 
people,  and  to  his  saints :  but  let  them 
not  turn  again  to  folly. 

9  Surely  his  salvation  is  nigh  them 
that  fear  him;  that  glory  may  dwell  in 
our  land. 

10  Mercy  and  truth  are  met  together; 
righteousness  and  peace  have  kissed 
each  other. 

1 1  Truth  shall  spring  out  of  the  earth  ; 
and  righteousness  shall  look  down  from 
heaven. 

12  Yea,  the  Lord  shall  give  that 
which  is  good ;  and  our  land  shall  yield 
her  increase. 

13  Righteousness  shall  go  before  him  ; 
and  shall  set  us  in  the  way  of  his  steps. 

14  Justice  and  judgment  are  the  habi- 
tation of  thy  throne  :  mercy  and  truth 
shall  go  before  thy  face. 

15  Blessed  z>the  people  that  know  the 
joyful  sound:  they  shall  walk,  O  Lord, 
in  the  light  of  thy  countenance. 

16  In  thy  name  shall  they  rejoice  all 
the  day  '•  and  in  thy  righteousness  shall 
they  be  exalted.

2  Preserve  my  soul  ;  for  I  am  holy : 
O  thou  my  God,  save  thy  servant  that 
trusteth  in  thee. 

3  Be  merciful  unto  me,  O  Lord  :  for  I 
cry  unto  thee  daily.

unto  thee,  O  Lord,  do  I  lift  up  my  soul.

to  forgive ;  and  plenteous  in  mercy  unto 
all  them  that  call  upon  thee.

unto  thee,  O  Lord  ;  neither  are  there  any 
works  like  unto  thy  works. 

9  All  nations  whom  thou  hast  made

Lord  ;  and  shall  glorify  thy  name.

will  walk  in  thy  truth  :  unite  my  heart  to 
fear  thy  name. 

12  I  will  praise  thee,  O  Lord  my  God, 
with  all  my  heart:  and  I  will  glorify  thy 
name  for  evermore. 

13  For  great  is  thy  mercy  toward  me : 
and  thou  hast  delivered  my  soul  from 
the  lowest  hell. 

14  O  God,  the  proud  are  risen  against 
me,  and  the  assemblies  of  violent  men 
have  sought  after  my  soul ;  and  have 
not  set  thee  before  them. 

15  But  thou,  O  Lord,  art  a  God  full  of 
compassion,  and  gracious,  longsuffering, 
and  plenteous  in  mercy  and  truth. 

16  O  turn  unto  me,  and  have  mercy 
upon  me ;  give  thy  strength  unto  thy 
servant,  and  save  the  son  of  thine  hand- 
maid. 

17  Shew  me  a  token  for  good;  that 
they  which  hate  me  may  see  it,  and  be 
ashamed:  because  thou,  Lord,  hast 
holpen  me,  and  comforted  me.

1  He  that  dwelleth  in  the  secret  place 
of  the  Most  High  shall  abide  under  the 
shadow  of  the  Almighty. 

2  I  will  say  of  the  Lord,  He  is  my

will  I  trust. 

3  Surely  he  shall  deliver  thee  from 
the  snare  of  the  fowler,  and  from  the 
noisome  pestilence. 

4  He  shall  cover  thee  with  his  feathers, 
and  under  his  wings  shalt  thou  trust : 
his  truth  shall  be  thy  shield  and  buckler. 

5  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  for  the 
terror  by  night ;  nor  for  the  arrow  that 
flieth  by  day ; 

6  Nor  for  the  pestilence  that  walketh 
in  darkness  ;  nor  for  the  destruction  that 
wasteth  at  noonday. 

7  A  thousand  shall  fall  at  thy  side, 
and  ten  thousand  at  thy  right  hand ;  but 
it  shall  not  come  nigh  thee. 

8  Only  with  thine  eyes  shalt  thou 
behold  and  see  the  reward  of  the  wicked. 

9  Because  thou  hast  made  the  Lord, 
which  is  my  refuge,  even  the  most  High, 
thy  habitation  ; 

10  There  shall  no  evil  befall  thee, 
neither  shall  any  plague  come  nigh  thy 
dwelling. 

11  For  he  shall  give  his  angels  charge 
over  thee,  to  keep  thee  in  all  thy  ways. 

12  They  shall  bear  thee  up  in  their 
hands,  lest  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a 
stone. 

13  Thou  shalt  tread  upon  the  lion  and 
adder :  the  young  lion  and  the  dragon 
shalt  thou  trample  under  feet. 

14  Because  he  hath  set  his  love  upon 
me,  therefore  will  I  deliver  him  :  I  will 
set  him  on  high,  because  he  hath  known 
my  name.

answer  him :  I  will  be  with  him  in  trou- 
ble ;  I  will  deliver  him,  and  honour  him.

i  The  Lord  reigneth,  he  is  clothed 
with  majesty;  the  Lord  is  clothed  with 
strength,  wherewith  he  hath  girded  him- 
self: the  world  also  is  stablished,  that  it 
cannot  be  moved. 

2  Thy  throne  is  established  of  old: 
thou  art  from  everlasting. 

3  The  floods  have  lifted  up,  O  Lord, 
the  floods  have  lifted  up  their  voice;  the 
floods  lift  up  their  waves. 

4  The  Lord  on  high  is  mightier  than 
the  noise  of  many  waters,  yea,  than  the 
mighty  waves  of  the  sea. 

5  Thy  testimonies  are  very  sure:  holi- 
ness becometh  thine  house,  O  Lord,  for 
ever. 

6  O  come,  let  us  sing  unto  the  Lord: 
let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  to  the  Rock  of 
our  salvation. 

7  Let  us  come  before  his  presence  with 
thanksgiving,  and  make  a  joyful  noise 
unto  him  with  psalms. 

8  For  the  Lord  is  a  great  God,  and  a 
great  King  above  all  gods. 

9  In  his  hand  are  the  deep  places  of 
the  earth :  the  strength  of  the  hills  is  his 
also. 

io  The  sea  is  his,  and  he  made  it:  and 
his  hands  formed  the  dry  land. 

ii  O  come,  let  us  worship  and  bow 
down :  let  us  kneel  before  the  Lord  our 
maker. 

12  For  he  is  our  God  ;  and  we  are  the 
people  of  his  pasture,  and  the  sheep  of 
his  hand.  To-day  if  ye  will  hear  his 
voice, 

13  Harden  not  your  heart,  as  in  the 
provocation,  and  as  in  the  day  of  temp- 
tation in  the  wilderness: 

14  When  your  fathers  tempted  me, 
proved  me,  and  saw  my  work. 

15  Forty  years  long  was  I  grieved  with 
this  generation,  and  said,  It  is  a  people 
that  do  err  in  their  heart,  and  they  have

2  Sing  unto  the  LORD,  Mess  his  name; 
shew  forth  his  salvation  from  day  to  day. 
,  3  Declare  his  glory  among  the  heathen, 
his  wonders  among  all  people. 

4  For  the  Lord  is  great,  and  greatly 
to  be  praised :  he  is  to  be  feared  above 
all  gods. 

5  For  all  the  gods  of  the  nations  are 
idols:  but  the  Lord  made  the  heavens. 

6  Honour  and  majesty  are  before  him  : 
strength  and  beauty  are  in  his  sanctuary.

of  the  people,  give  unto  the  Lord  glory 
and  strength. 

8  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due 
unto  his  name:  bring  an  offering,  and 
come  into  his  courts. 

9  O  worship  the  Lord  in  the  beauty 
of  holiness  :  fear  before  him,  all  the  earth.

Lord  reigneth:  the  world  also  shall  be 
established  that  it  shall  not  be  moved  : 
he  shall  judge  the  people  righteously.

earth  be  glad  ;  let  the  sea  roar,  and  the 
fulness  thereof. 

12  Let  the  field  be  joyful,  and  all  that

wood  rejoice 

13  Before  the  Lord:  for  he  cometh, 
for  he  cometh  to  judge  the  earth  :  he  shall 
judge  the  world  with  righteousness,  and 
the  people  with  his  truth. 

14  Clouds  and  darkness  are  round 
about  him:  righteousness  and  judgment 
are  the  habitation  of  his  throne. 

15  Rejoice  in  the  Lord,  ye  righteous; 
and  give  thanks  at  the  remembrance  oi 
his  holiness.

3  Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities; 
who  healeth  all  thy  diseases; 

4  Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruc- 
tion ;  who  crowneth  thee  with  loving- 
kindness  and  tender  mercies ; 

5  Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with  good 
things ;  so  that  thy  youth  is  renewed  like

6  The  Lord  executeth  righteousness

7  He  made  known  his  ways  unto  Moses,

9  He  will  not  always  chide:  neither

so  far  hath  he  removed  our  transgres- 
sions from  us. 

13  Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children, 
so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

14  For  he  knoweth  our  frame ;  he  re- 
membereth  that  we  are  dust. 

15  As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  grass :

16  For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  it 
is  gone  ;  and  the  place  thereof  shall  know 
it  no  more. 

17  But  the  mercy  of  the  Lord  is  from 
everlasting  to  everlasting  upon  them  that 
fear  him,  and  his  righteousness  unto  chil- 
dren's children ; 

18  To  such  as  keep  his  covenant,  and 
to  those  that  remember  his  command-

Psalm  cxvi. 
i  I  love  the  Lord,  because  he  hath 
heard  my  voice  and  my  supplications. 

2  Because  he  hath  inclined  his  ear  unto 
me,  therefore  will  I  call  upon  him  as  long 
as  I  live. 

3  The  sorrows  of  death  compassed  me, 
and  the  pains  of  hell  gat  hold  upon  me  : 
I  found  trouble  and  sorrow. 

4  Then  called  I  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord  ;  O  Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  deliver 
my  soul. 

5  Gracious  is  the  Lord,  and  righteous  ; 
yea,  our  God  is  merciful. 

6  The  Lord  preserveth  the  simple:  I 
was  brought  low,  and  he  helped  me. 

7  Return  unto  thy  rest,  O  my  soul ; 
for  the  Lord  hath  dealt  bountifully  with 
thee. 

8  For  thou  hast  delivered  my  soul  from 
death,  mine  eyes  from  tears,  and  my 
feet  from  falling. 

9  I  will  walk  before  the  Lord  in  the 
land  of  the  living. 

io  I  believed,  therefore  have  I  spoken : 
I  was  greatly  afflicted : 

ii  I  said  in  my  haste,  All  men  are 
liars. 

12  What  shall  I  render  unto  the  Lord 
for  all  his  benefits  toward  me  ? 

13  I  will  take  the  cup  of  salvation,  and 
call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

14  I  will  pay  my  vows  unto  the  Lord 
now  in  the  presence  of  all  his  people. 

15  Precious  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
is  the  death  of  his  saints. 

16  O  Lord,  truly  I  am  thy  servant ; 
I  am  thy  servant,  and  the  son  of  thine 
handmaid:  thou  hast  loosed  my  bonds. 

17  I  will  offer  to  thee  the  sacrifice  of 
thanksgiving,  and  will  call  upon  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

18  I  will  pay  my  vows  unto  the  Lord 
now  in  the  presence  of  all  his  people, 

19  In  the  courts  of  the  Lord's  house, 
in  the  midst  of  thee,  O  Jerusalem.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord.

Psalms  cxxi.,  cxxiv.,  cxxvl,  3-6. 

1  I  will  lift  up  mine  eyes  unto  the 
hills,  from  whence  cometh  my   help. 

2  My  help  cometh  from  the  Lord, 
which  made   heaven   and  earth. 

3  He  will  not  suffer  thy  foot  to  be 
moved :  he  that  keepeth  thee  will  not 
slumber. 

4  Behold,  he  that  keepeth  Israel  shall 
neither  slumber  nor  sleep. 

5  The  Lord  w  thy  keeper :  the  Lord 
is  thy  shade  upon  thy  right  hand. 

6  The  sun  shall  not  smite  thee  by  day, 
nor  the  moon  by  night. 

7  The  Lord  shall  preserve  thee  from 
all  evil :  he  shall  preserve  thy  soul. 

8  The-LoRD  shall  preserve  thy  going 
out  and  thy  coming  in  from  this  time 
forth,  and  even  for  evermore. 

9  If  it  had  not  been  the  Lord  who  was 
on  our  side,  now  may  Israel  say  ; 

10  If  it  had  not  been  the  Lord  who  was 
on  our  side,  when  men  rose  up  against  us  : 

11  Then  they  had  swallowed  us  up 
quick,  when  their  wrath  was  kindled 
against  us : 

12  Then  the  waters  had  overwhelmed 
us,  the  stream  had  gone  over  our  soul: 

13  Then  the  proud  waters  had  gone 
over  our  soul. 

14  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who  hath  not 
given  us  as  a  prey  to  their  teeth. 

15  Our  soul  is  escaped  as  a  bird  out  of 
the  snare  of  the  fowlers :  the  snare  is 
broken,  and  we  are  escaped. 

16  Our  help  is  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  who  made  heaven  and  earth. 

17  The  Lord  hath  done  great  things 
for  us  ;  whereof  we  are  glad. 

18  Turn  again  our  captivity,  O  Lord, 
as  the  streams  in  the  south. 

19  They  that  sow  in  tears  shall  reap  in 
joy. 

20  He  that  goeth  forth  and  weepeth, 
bearing  precious  seed,  shall  doubtless 
come  again  with  rejoicing,  bringing  his 
sheaves  with  him.

PSAl.il  cxxxix.,   i  —  1 5 ,  23,  24. 

1  O  LORD,  thou  hast  searched  me,  and 
known  me. 

2  Thou  knowest  my  downsitting  and 
mine  uprising ;  thou  understandest  my 
thought  afar  off. 

3  Thou  compassest  my  path  and  my 
lying  down,  and  art  acquainted  with  all 
my  ways. 

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue, 
but  lo,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest  it  alto- 
gether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and  be- 
fore, and  laid  thine  hand  upon  me. 

6  Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful  for 
me;  it  is  high,  I  cannot  attain  unto  it. 

7  Whither  shall  I  go  from  thy  Spirit? 
or  whither  shall  I  flee  from  thy  presence? 

8  If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven,  thou  art 
there :  if  I  make  my  bed  in  hell,  behold, 
thou  art  there. 

9  If  I  take  the  wings  of  the  morning, 
and  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the 
sea  ; 

10  Even  there  shall  thy  hand  lead  me, 
and  thy  right  hand  shall  hold  me. 

11  If  I  say.  Surely  the  darkness  shall 
cover  me  ;  even  the  night  shall  be  light 
about  me. 

12  Yea,  the  darkness  hideth  not  from 
thee  ;  but  the  night  shineth  as  the  day : 
the  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  alike 
to  thee. 

13  For  thou  hast  possessed  my  reins: 
thou  hast  covered  me  in  my  mother's 
womb. 

14  I  will  praise  thee;  for  I  am  fear- 
fully and  wonderfully  made  :  marvellous 
are  thy  works  ;  and  that  my  soul  know- 
eth  right  well. 

15  My  substance  was  not  hid  from  thee, 
when  I  was  made  in  secret,  and  curiously 
wrought  in  the  lowest  parts  of  the  earth. 

16  Search  me,  O  God.  and  know  my 
heart ;    try  me,  and  know  my  thoughts  : 

17  And  see  if  there  be  any  wicked  way 
in  me,  and  lead  me  in  the  way  ever- 
lasting.

1  Lord,  what  is  man,  th.it  thou  takest 
knowledge  of  him  !  or  the  son  of  man,

2  Man  is  like  to  vanity:    his  da

3  How  thy  heavens.  0  Lord,  and  come

4  Cast  forth  lightning,  and  scatter

stroy them. 

5  Send  thine  hand  from  above  ;  rid 
me,  and  deliver  me  out  of  great  waters, 
from  the  hand  of  strange  children  ; 

6  Whose  mouth  speaketh  vanity,  and 
their  right  hand  is  a  right  hand  of  false- 
hood. 

7  I  will  sing  a  new  song  unto  thee, 
O  God:  upon  a  psaltery  and  an  instru- 
ment of  ten  strings  will  I  sing  praises 
unto  thee. 

8  //  is  he  that  giveth  salvation  unto 
kings:  who  delivereth  David  his  servant 
from  the  hurtful  sword. 

9  Rid  me,  and  deliver  me  from  the 
hand  of  strange  children,  whose  mouth 
speaketh  vanity,  and  their  right  hand  is 
a  right  hand  of  falsehood  : 

10  That  our  sons  may  be  as  plants 
grown  up  in  their  youth  ;  that  our  daugh- 
ters may  be  as  corner  stones,  polished 
after  the  similitude  of  a  palace  : 

1 1  That  our  garners  may  be  full, 
affording  all  manner  of  store  ;  that  our 
sheep  may  bring  forth  thousands  and  ten 
thousands  in  our  streets  : 

12  That  our  oxen  may  be  strong  to 
labour;  that  there  be  no  breaking  in,  nor 
going  out ;  that  there  be  no  complaining 
in  our  streets. 

13  Happy  is  that  people,  that  is  in 
such  a  case  :  yea.  happy  is  that  people, 
whose  God  is  the  Lord.

1  I  will  extol  thee,  my  God,  O  King ; 
and  I  will  bless  thy  name  for  ever  and

2  Every  day  will  I  bless  thee ;  and  I 
will  praise  thy  name  for  ever  and  ever. 

3  Great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly  to  be 
praised  ;  and  his  greatness  is  unsearch- 
able. 

4  One  generation  shall  praise  thy  works 
to  another,  and  shall  declare  thy  mighty 
acts. 

5  I  will  speak  of  the  glorious  honor 
of  thy  majesty,  and  of  thy  wondrous

greatness. 

7  They  shall  abundantly  utter  the  mem- 
ory of  thy  great  goodness,  and  shall  sing 
of  thy  righteousness. 

8  The  Lord  is  gracious,  and  full  of 
compassion  ;  slow  to  anger,  and  of  great 
mercy. 

9  The  Lord  z'j-good  to  all :  and  his  ten-

10  All  thy  works  shall  praise  thee,  O 
Lord  ;  and  thy  saints  shall  bless  thee. 

11  They  shall  speak  of  the  glory  of 
thy  kingdom,  and  talk  of  thy  power ; 

12  To  make  known  to  the  sons  of  men 
his  mighty  acts,  and  the  glorious  majesty 
of  his  kingdom. 

13  Thy  kingdom  is  an  everlasting  king- 
dom, and  thy  dominion  endureth  through- 
out all  generations. 

14  The  Lord  upholdeth  all  that  fall, 
and  raiseth  up  all  those  that  be  bowed 
down. 

15  The  eyes  of  all  wait  upon  thee  ;  and 
thou  givest  them  their  meat  in  due  sea- 
son. 

16  Thou  openest  thine  hand,  and  satis- 
fiest  the  desire  of  every  living  thing.

ways,  and  holy  in  all  his  works.

of  the  children  of  Israel,  a  people  near 
unto  him.     Praise  ye  the  Lord.

8  And  the  grinders  cease  because  they

9  And  those  that  look  out  of  the  win-

14  Also  when  they  shall  be  afraid  of 
that  which  is  high, 

15  And  fears  shall  be  in  the  way. 

16  And  the  almond  tree  shall  flourish, 

17  And  the  grasshopper  shall  be  a 
burden, 

18  And  desire  shall  fail:   • 

19  Because  man  goeth  to  his  long  home, 
and  the  mourners  go  about  the  streets  : 

20  Or  ever  the  silver  cord  be  loosed,  or 
the  golden  bowl  be  broken, 

21  Or  the  pitcher  be  broken  at  the  foun- 
tain, or  the  wheel  broken  at  the  cistern. 

22  Then  shall  the  dust  return  to  the 
earth  as  it  was: 

23  And  the  spirit  shall  return  unto  God 
who  gave  it. 

24  Let  us  hear  the  conclusion  of  the 
whole  matter:  Fear  God,  and  keep  his 
commandments:  for  this  is  the  whole 
duty  of  man.

Rom.  xiv. 

1  WlNE  is  a  mocker,  strong  drink  ia 
raging:    and     whosoever    is     deceived 

thereby    is   not   wise. 

2  Be  not  among  winebibbers;  among 
riotous  eaters  of  flesh  : 

3  For  the  drunkard  and  the  glutton 
shall  come  to  poverty;  and  drowsiness 
shall  clothe  a  man  with  rags. 

4  Who  hath  woe?  who  hath  sorrow? 
who  hath  contentions?  who  hath  bab- 
bling? who  hath  wounds  without  cause? 
who  hath  redness  of  eyes? 

5  They  that  tarry  long  at  the  wine ; 
they  that  go  to  seek  mixed  wine. 

6  Look  not  thou  upon  the  wine  when 
it  is  red,  when  it  giveth  his  color  in  the 
cup,  when  it  moveth  itself  aright. 

7  At  the  last  it  biteth  like  a  serpent, 
and  stingeth  like  an  adder. 

8  Woe  unto  them  that  rise  up  early  in 
the  morning,  that  they  may  follow  strong 
drink  ;  that  continue  until  night,  till  wine 
inflame  them  ! 

9  And  the  harp  and  the  viol,  the  tabret 
and  pipe,  and  wine,  are  in  their  feasts : 
but  they  regard  not  the  work  of  the 
Lord,  neither  consider  the  operation  of 
his  hands. 

10  Woe  unto  them  that  are  mighty  to 
drink  wine,  and  men  of  strength  to  mingle 
strong  drink  :       ' 

11  Which  justify  the  wicked  for  re- 
ward, and  take  away  the  righteousness 
of  the  righteous  from  him  ! 

12  Woe  unto  him  that  giveth  his  neigh- 
bor drink,  that  puttest  thy  bottle  to  him, 
and  makest  him  drunken  also. 

13  Let  us  therefore  follow  after  the 
things  which  make  for  peace,  and  things 
wherewith  one  may  edify  another. 

14  It  is  good  neither  to  eat  flesh,  nor 
to  drink  wine,  nor  anything  whereby  thy 
brother  stumbleth,  or  is  offended,  or  is 
made  weak.

I  Corinthians  xiii. 

i  Though  I  speak  with  the  tongues  of 

men  and  of  angels,  and  have  not  charity, 

I  am   become  as   sounding  brass,  or  a 

tinkling  cymbal. 

2  And  though  I  have  the  gift  <?/ proph- 
ecy, and  understand  all  mysteries,  and  all 
knowledge;  and  though  I  have  all  faith, 
so  that  1  could  remove  mountains,  and 
have  not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  though  I  bestow  all  my  goods 
to  feed  the  poor,  and  though  I  give  my 
body  to  be  burned,  and  have  not  charity, 
it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  Charity  suffereth  long,  and  is  kind ; 
charity  envieth  not;  charity  vaunteth  not 
itself,  is  not  puffed  up, 

5  Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly, 
seeketh  not  her  own,  is  not  easily  pro- 
voked, thinketh  no  evil ; 

6  Rejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  re- 
joiceth  in  the  truth  ; 

7  Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all 
things,  hopeth  all  things,  endureth  all 
things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth :  but  whether 
there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  fail; 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall 
cease  ;  whether  therr  be  knowledge,  it 
shall  vanish  away. 

9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we 
prophesy  in  part. 

io  But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is 
come,  then  that  which  is  in  part  shall  be 
done  away. 

ii  When  I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a 
child,  I  understood  as  a  child,  I  thought 
as  a  child :  but  when  I  became  a  man,  I 
put  away  childish  things. 

12  For  now  we  see  through  a  glass, 
darkly;  but  then  face  to  face:  now  I 
know  in  part ;  but  then  shall  I  know  even 
as  also  I  am  known. 

13  And  now  abideth  faith,  hope, 
charity,  these  three ;  but  the  greatest  of 
these  is  charity.

Psalm  xc,  1-12,  14,  16,  17. 

1  Lord,  thou  hast  been  our  dwelling- 
place  in  all  generations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  brought 
forth,  or  ever  thou  hadst  formed  the 
earth  and  the  world,  even  from  everlasting 
to  everlasting,  thou  art  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction  ; 
and  sayest,  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 

4  For  a  thousand  years  in  thy  sight 
are  but  as  yesterday  when  it  is  past,  and 
as  a  watch  in  the  night. 

5  Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a 
flood  ;  they  are  as  a  sleep :  in  the  morn- 
ing they  are  like  grass  which  groweth  up. 

6  In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and 
groweth  up ;  in  the  evening  it  is  cut 
down,  and  withereth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  by  thine 
anger,  and  by  thy  wrath  we  are  troubled. 

8  Thou  has  set  our  iniquities  before 
thee,  our  secret  sins  in  the  light  of  thy 
countenance. 

9  For  all  our  days  are  passed  away 
in  thy  wrath  :  we  spend  our  years  as  a 
tale  that  is  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are  three- 
score years  and  ten  :  and  if  by  reason  of 
strength  they  be  fourscore  years,  yet  is 
their  strength  labor  and  sorrow ;  for  it  is 
soon  cut  off,  and  we  fly  away. 

11  Who  knoweth  the  power  of  thine 
anger  ?  even  according  to  thy  fear,  so  is 
thy  wrath. 

12  So  teach  us  to  number  our  days, 
that  we  may  apply  our  hearts  unto  wis 
dom. 

13  O  satisfy  us  early  with  thy  mercy; 
that  we  may  rejoice  and  be  glad  all  our 
days. 

14  Let  thy  work  appear  unto  thy  ser- 
vants, and  thy  glory  unto  their  children. 

15  And  let  the  beauty  of  the  Lord  our 
God  bn  upon  us ;  and  establish  thou  the 
work  of  our  hands  upon  us ;  yea,  the 
work  of  our  hands  establish  thou  it.

Selection  52 
The  Ten  Commandments. 
And  God  spake  all  these  words,  saying, 

I.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  be- 
fore me. 

II.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any 
graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of  any 
thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the 
water  under  the  earth  :  thou  shalt  not 
bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them :  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jeal- 
ous God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me  ;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands 
of  them  that  love  me,  and  keep  my 
commandments. 

III.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of 
the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain  :  for  the  Lord 
will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh 
his  name  in  vain. 

IV.  Remember  the  Sabbath-day,  to 
keep  it  holy.  Six  days  shalt  thou  labor, 
and  do  all  thy  work  :  but  the  seventh  day 
is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God  :  in 
it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor 
thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  man-ser- 
vant, nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle, 
nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates : 
for  in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven 
and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is, 
and  rested  the  seventh  day :  wherefore 
the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath-day,  and 
hallowed  it. 

V.  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother : 
that  thy  days  may  be  long  upon  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee. 

VI.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

VII.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

VIII.  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

IX.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness 
against  thy  neighbor. 

X.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's 
house,  thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's 
wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid- 
servant, nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  any 
thing  that  is  thy  neighbor's.

The  Twenty-Third  Psalm. 

The  Lord  is  my  shepherd  ;  I  shall  not 
want. 

He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in  green 
pastures  ;  he  leadeth  me  beside  the  still 
waters. 

He  restoreth  my  soul  ;  he  leadeth  me 
in  the  paths  of  righteousness  for  his 
name's  sake. 

Yea,  though  I  walk  through  the  valley 
of  the  shadow  of  death,  I  will  fear  no 
evil :  for  thou  art  with  me  ;  thy  rod  and 
thy  staff  they  comfort  me. 

Thou  preparest  a  table  before  me  in  the 
presence  of  mine  enemies  :  thou  anointest 
my  head  with  oil ;  my  cup  runneth  over. 

Surely  goodness  and  mercy  shall  fol- 
low me  all  the  days  of  my  life:  and  I  will 
dwell  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  for  ever.

Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit :  for

Blessed  are  they  that  mourn :  for  they 
shall  be  comforted. 

Blessed  are  the  meek :  for  they  shall 
inherit  the  earth. 

Blessed  are  they  which  do  hunger  and 
thirst  after  righteousness:  for  they  shall 
be  filled. 

Blessed  are  the  merciful :  for  they  shall 
obtain  mercy. 

Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart:  for  they 
shall  see  God. 

Blessed  are  the  peacemakers  :  for  they 
shall  be  called  the  children  of  God. 

Blessed  are  they  which  are  persecuted 
for  righteousness'  sake:  for  theirs  is  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

Blessed  are  ye,  when  men  shall  revile 
you,  and  persecute  you,  and  shall  say  all 
manner  of  evil  against  you  falsely,  for 
my  sake. 

Rejoice,  and  be  exceeding  glad:  for 
great  is  your  reward   in  heaven  :  for  so 

Eersecuted  they  the  prophets  which  were 
efore  you.

To  praise  the  Saviour's  name.

For  those  whose  sins  he  bore. 

3  Sing  on  your  heavenly  way, 

Ye  ransomed  sinners,  sing ; 
Sing  on,  rejoicing  every  day 
In  Christ  the  eternal  King.

"Ye  blessed  children,  come  ;" 
Soon  will  he  call  us  hence  away, 
And  take  his  wanderers  home.

With  all  our  ransomed  powers.

The  Lord  your  God  adore  : 

Stand  up,  and  bless  his  glorious  name, 
Henceforth  for  evermore.

(SILVER  STREET)    S.  M. 

Come,  sound  his  praise  abroad, 
And  hymns  of  glory  sing ; 

Jehovah  is  the  sovereign  God, 
The  universal  King. 

He  formed  the  deeps  unknown, 
He  gave  the  seas  their  bound ; 

The  watery  worlds  are  all  his  own, 
And  all  the  solid  ground. 

Come,  worship  at  his  throne  ; 

Come,  bow  before  the  Lord ; 
We  are  his  works,  and  not  our  own ; 

He  formed  us  by  his  word. 

To-day  attend  his  voice, 
Nor  dare  provoke  his  rod : 

Come,  like  the  people  of  his  choice, 
And  own  your  gracious  God.

2  Thou  who  art  beyond  the  farthest 
Mortal  eye  can  scan, 
Can  it  be  that  thou  regardest 

Songs  of  sinful  man  ? 
Can  we  feel  that  thou  art  near  us, 
And  wilt  hear  us  ? 
Yea,  we  can. 


3  Yea,  we  know  thy  love  rejoices 
O'er  each  work  of  thine ; 


r 


4  Here,  great  God,  to-day  we  offer 

Of  thine  own  to  thee ; 
And  for  thine  acceptance  proffer, 

All  unworthily, 
Hearts   and  minds,  and  hands   and 
voices, 
In  our  choicest 
Melody. 

5  Honor,  glory,  might,  and  merit, 

Thine  shall  ever  be, 


Thou  didst  ears  and  hands  and  voices  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit, 

For  thy  praise  combine  ;  Blessed  Trinity  : 

Craftsman's  art  and  music's  measure  Of  the  best  that  thou  hast  given 
For  thy  pleasure  Earth  and  heaven 

Didst  design.  Render  thee.

May  speak  their  joys  abroad.

From  faith  and  hope  may  grow.

A  thousand  sacred  sweets,

Or  walk  the  golden  streets.

1  Oh,  worship  the  King  all  glorious  above, 
Oh,  gratefully  sing  his  power  and  his  love ; 
Our  Shield  and  Defender,  the  Ancient  of  days, 
Pavilioned  in  splendor  and  girded  with  praise. 

2  Oh,  tell  of  his  might,  oh,  sing  of  his  grace, 
Whose  robe  is  the  light,  whose  canopy  space ; 
His  chariots  of  wrath  deep  thunder-clouds  form, 
And  dark  is  his  path  on  the  wings  of  the  storm. 

3  Thy  bountiful  care  what  tongue  can  recite  ? 
It  breathes  in  the  air,  it  shines  in  the  light, 

It  streams  from  the  hills,  it  descends  to  the  plains, 
And  sweetly  distils  in  the  dew  and  the  rains. 

4  Frail  children  of  dust,  and  feeble  as  frail, 
In  thee  do  we  trust,  nor  find  thee  to  fail ; 
Thy  mercies  how  tender,  how  firm  to  the  end, 
Our  Maker,  Defender,  Redeemer,  and  Friend  1

We  would  adore  our  Maker  too  ! 
From  sin  and  dust  to  thee  we  cry,

22       (  DUKE  STREET  )     L.  M. 

1  From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies, 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise ; 

Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung, 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 

2  Eternal  are  thy  mercies,  Lord  ; 
Eternal  truth  attends  thy  word : 
Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore 

to  shore, 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more. 

3  Your  lofty  themes,  ye  mortals,  bring ; 
In  songs  of  praise  divinely  sing ; 
The  great  salvation  loud  proclaim, 
And    shout    for    joy    the    Saviour's 

name.    • 


Be  short,  our  tunes  ;  our  words,  be  few  1 
A  solemn  rev'rence  checks  our  songs, 
And  praise  sits  silent  on  our  tongues. 
Isaac  Watts 

23      (STONEFIELD)     L.  M. 

1  Now  to  the  Lord  a  noble  song  1 
Awake,  my  soul ;  awake,  my  tongue : 
Hosanna  to  th'  Eternal  Name, 

And  all  his  boundless  love  proclaim. 

2  See,  where  it  shines  in  Jesus'  face, 
The  brightest  image  of  his  grace : 
God,  in  the  person  of  his  Son, 

Has  all  his  mightiest  works  outdone. 

3  Grace  1  'tis  a  sweet,  a  charming  theme: 
My  thoughts  rejoice  at  Jesus'  name  ! 
Ye  angels,  dwell  upon  the  soimd  ; 
Ye  heavens,  reflect  it  to  the  ground  I 


4  In  every  land  begin  the  song ;  4 

To  every  land  the  strains  belong : 
In  cheerful  sounds  all  voices  raise, 
And  fill  the  world  with  loudest  praise. 
Isaac  Watts        83 


O  may  I  reach  the  happy  place 
Where  he  unveils  his  lovely  face  1 
Where  all  his  beauties  you  behold, 
And  sing  his  name  to  harps  of  gold.

And  O  how  dreadful  is  this  place  ! 

'Tis  God's  own  house,  'tis  heaven's  gate ! 

3  Tremble  our  hearts  to  find  thee  nigh, 
To  thee  our  trembling  hearts  aspire ; 

And  lo  !  we  see  descend  from  high 
The  pillar  and  the  flame  of  fire.

Who  all  night  long  unwearied  sing 
High  praise  to  the  eternal  King.

And  all  the  house  with  glory  fill ; 

To  Canaan's  bounds  point  out  the  way, 
And  lead  us  to  thy  holy  hill. 

5  There  let  us  all  with  Jesus  stand, 
And  join  the  general  Church  above ; 

And  take  our  seats  at  thy  right  hand, 
And  sing  thine  everlasting  love.

To  him,  enthroned  above  all  height,

Thy  courts  with  grateful  fragrance 
Still  may  we  stand  before  thy  face, 

Still  hear  and  do  thy  sovereign  will.

All  praise  to  thee,  who  safe  hast  kept, 
And  hast  refreshed  me  while  I  slept : 
Grant,  Lord,  when  I  from  death  shall 

wake, 
I  may  of  endless  life  partake. 
Direct,  control,  suggest  this  day,

Thou  canst  save,  and  thou  canst

Though  the  night  be  dark  and  dreary,

Thou  art  he  who,  never  weary, 

Watchest  where  thy  people  be.

Should  swift  death  this  night  o'ertake

And  our  couch  become  our  tomb, 
May  the  morn  in  heaven  awake  as, 

Clad  in  light  and  deathless  bloom.

praise  and  Bfcoratton 

Our  changeful  lives  are  ebbing  to  an  end; 

Onward  to  darkness  and  to  death  we  tend: 
( )  ( lonqueror  of  the  grave,  be  thou  our  guide, 
He  thou  our  light  in  death's  dark  eventide  ; 
Then  in  our  mortal  hour  will  be  no  gloom, 
No  sting  in  death,  no  terror  in  the  tomb. 

The  weary  world  is  mouldering  to  decay, 
Its  glories  wane,  its  pageants  fade  away; 
In  that  last  sunset,  when  the  stars  shall  fall, 
May  we  arise,  awakened  by  thy  call, 
With  thee,  O  Lord,  forever  to  abide 
In  that  blest  day  which  has  no  eventide.

2   Thanks  we  give,  and  adoration, 
For  thy  gospel's  joyful  sound ; 
May  the  fruits  of  thy  salvation 
In  our  hearts  and  lives  abound, 

May  thy  presence 
With  us  evermore  be  found. 


3   So,  whene'er  the  signal's  given 
Us  from  earth  to  call  away, 
Borne  on  angel's  wings  to  heaven, 
Glad  the  summons  to  obey, 

May  we  ever 
Reign  with  Christ  in  endless  day.

2   Have  we  trials  and  temptations  ? 

Is  there  trouble  anywhere  ? 
We  should  never  be  discouraged, 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 
Can  we  find  a  friend  so  faithful 

Who  will  all  our  sorrows  share  ? 
Jesus  knows  our  every  weakness, 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 


3  Are  we  weak  and  heavy  laden, 

Cumbered  with  a  load  of  care?  — 
Precious  Saviour,  still  our  refuge, — 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer. 
Do  thy  friends  despise,  forsake  thee? 

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer ; 
In  his  arms  he'll  take  and  shield  thee, 

Thou  wilt  find  a  solace  there.

Pure,  warm,  and  changeless  be,

1  What  various  hindrances  we  meet 
In  coming  to  a  mercy-seat  !      [prayer, 
Yet  who   that    knows    the   worth   of 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there  ? 

2  Prayer  makes  the  darkened  cloud 

withdraw ; 
Prayer  climbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw ; 
Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love  ; 
Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 


Bid  darkness  turn  to  day, 
Wipe  sorrow's  tears  away, 
Nor  let  me  ever  stray 
From  thee  aside. 

4  When  ends  life's  transient  dream, 

When  death's  cold,  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll; 

Blest  Saviour,  then,  in  love, 

Fear  and  distrust  remove; 

O  bear  me  safe  above, 

A  ransomed  soul. 

Ray  Palmer 

3  Restraining  prayer,  we  cease  to  fight ; 
Prayer    keeps    the    Christian's    armor 

bright ; 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 
The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees. 

4  Were  half  the  breath  that's  vainly  spent, 
To  heaven  in  supplication  sent, 

Our  cheerful  song  would  oftener  be, 
"  Hear  what  the  Lord  has  done  for  me.'

;!   There  is  a  place  where  Jesus  sheds  4  Ah  !  whither  could  we  flee  for  aid, 

The  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads,  When  tempted,  desolate,  dismayed, 

A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet':  Or  how  the  hosts  of  hell  defeat, 

it  is  the  blood-bought  mercy-seat.  Had  suff'ring  saints  no  mercy-seat? 

s',    There  is  a  scene  where  spirits  blend,  5   There,  there  on  eagle  wings  we  soar, 

Where    friend    holds   fellowship  with  And  sin  and  sense  molest  no  more ; 

friend,  [meet  And  heaven  comes  down  our  souls  to 

Though  sundered  far;  by  faith  they  greet, 

Around  one  common  mercy-seat.  While  glory  crowns  the  mercy-seat.

While  here  by  tempests  driven.

The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye, 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 

3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 
That  infant  lips  can  try; 

Prayer,  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 
The  Majesty  on  high. 

48       (MARTYRDOM)     CM. 

1  Approach,  my  soul,  the  mercy-seat 
Where  Jesus  answers  prayer ; 

There  humbly  fall  before  his  feet, 
For  none  can  perish  there. 

2  Thy  promise  is  my  only  plea, 
With  this  I  venture  nigh  ; 

Thou  callest  burdened  souls  to  thee, 
And  such,  O  Lord,  am  I. 

3  Bowed  down  beneath  a  load  of  sin, 
By  Satan  sorely  pressed, 

Fightings  without,  and  fears  within, 
I  come  to  thee  for  rest. 

4  Be  thou  my  shield  and  hiding-place, 
That,  sheltered  near  thy  side, 

I  may  my  fierce  accuser  face, 
And  tell  him  thou  hast  died. 

John  Newton 


4  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 
The  Christian's  native  air, 

His  watch-word  at  the  gates  of  death ; 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer. 

5  O  thou,  by  whom  we  come  to  God, 
The  Life,  the  Truth,  the  Way  ! 

The  path  of  prayer  thyself  hast  trod ; 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

James  Montgomery 

49       (ST.  AGNES)     CM. 

1  When  cold  our  hearts,  and  far  from  thee 

Our  wandering  spirits  stray, 
And  thoughts  and  lips  move  heavily, 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

2  Too  vile  to  venture  near  thy  throne, 
Too  poor  to  turn  away  ; 

Our  only  voice, — thy  Spirit's  groan, — 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

3  We  know  not  how  to  seek  thy  face, 
Unless  thou  lead  the  way  ; 

We  have  no  words,  unless  thy  grace, 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

4  Here  every  thought  and  fond  desire 
We  on  thine  altar  lav  ; 

And  when  our  souls  have  caught  thy  fire, 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray.

My  need  and  thy  desires 
Are  all  in  Christ  complete ; 

Thou  hast  the  justice  truth  requires, 
And  I  thy  mercy  sweet. 

Where'er  thy  name  is  blest, 
Where'er  thy  people  meet, 

There  I  delight  in  thee  to  rest, 
And  find  thy  mercy  sweet. 


51       (ST.  ANDREW )     S.  M. 

1  Still  with  thee,  O  my  God, 

I  would  desire  to  be, 
By  day,  by  night,  at  home,  abroad, 
I  would  be  still  with  thee. 

2  With  thee  when  dawn  comes  in 

And  calls  me  back  to  care, 
Each  day  returning  to  begin 
With  thee,  my  God,  in  prayer. 

3  With  thee  when  day  is  done, 

And  evening  calms  the  mind ; 
The  setting  as  the  rising  sun 
With  thee  my  heart  would  find. 

4  With  thee,  in  thee,  by  faith 

Abiding,  I  would  be ; 
By  day,  by  night,  in  life,  in  death, 
I  would  be  still  with  thee. 

Tames  D.  Burns 


4  Light  thou  my  weary  way, 

Lead  thou  my  wandering  feet, 
That  while  I  stay  on  earth  I  may 
Still  find  thy  mercy  sweet. 

5  Thus  shall  the  heavenly  host 

Hear  all  my  songs  repeat 
To  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost, 
My  joy,  thy  mercy  sweet. 

John  S.  B.  Monsell 

52      (DUNDEE)    CM. 

1  Lord!  when  we  bend  before  thy  throne, 

And  our  confessions  pour, 
Oh,  may  we  feel  the  sins  we  own, 
And  hate  what  we  deplore. 

2  Our  contrite  spirits  pitying  see  ; 

True  penitence  impart : 
And  let  a  healing  ray  from  thee 
Beam  hope  on  every  heart. 

3  When  we  disclose  our  wants  in  prayer, 

May  we  our  wills  resign ; 
And  not  a  thought  our  bosom  share 
Which  is  not  wholly  thine. 

3  Let  faith  each  meek  petition  fill, 
And  waft  it  to  the  skies  ; 
And  teach  our  heart  'tis  goodness  still 
That  grants  it  or  denies.

2  That  rich,  atoning  blood, 
Which  sprinkled  round  I  see, 

Provides  for  those  who  come  to  God, 
An  all-prevailing  plea. 

3  My  soul !  ask  what  thou  wilt ; 
Thou  canst  not  be  too  bold : 

Since  his  own  blood  for  thee  he  spilt, 
What  else  can  he  withhold  ?

4  Thine  image,  Lord,  bestow, 
Thy  presence  and  thy  love ; 

I  ask  to  serve  thee  here  below, 
And  reign  with  thee  above.

Conform  my  will  to  thine  : 

Let  me  victorious  be  in  death, 
And  then  in  glory  shine.

2  To  God  I  cried  when  troubles  rose  ;  Thy  words  my  fainting  soul  revive, 
He  heard  me,  and  subdued  my  foes  ;    And  keep  my  dying  faith  alive. 

He  did  my  rising  fears  control,  ,,,,    .  ,         ,  , 

And  strength  diffused  thro'  all  my  soul.   4  J  11  sing  thy  truth  and  mercy,  Lord  ; 

I'll  sing  the  wonders  of  thy  word ;

Upheld  and  guarded  by  thy  hand ;         So  much  thy  power  and  glory  show.

Great  God,  let  all  our  tuneful  powers 
Awake,  and  sing  thy  mighty  name  ; 


A  King,  superior  far  to  all 

Whom  gods  the  heathen  falsely  call. 

4  Oh,  let  us  to  his  courts  repair, 
And  bow  with  adoration  there  ; 
Down  on  our  knees  devoutly  all 
Before  the  Lord,  our  Maker,  fall. 

66      ( WIMBORNE )     L.  M. 
1   Come,  let  us  tune  our  loftiest  song, 
And  raise  to  Christ  our  joyful  strain  : 


Thy  hand  revolves  the  circling  hours —  Worship  and  thanks  to  him  belong, 


Thy  hand,  from  whence  our  being 
came. 

2  Seasons    and    moons,    still    rolling 

round 
In  beauteous  order,  speak  thy  praise ; 
And  years  with  smiling  mercy  crown'd, 
To  thee  successive  honors  raise,  [owe 

3  Our  life,  and  health,  and  friends,  we 
All  to  thy  vast,  unbounded  love  ; 

Ten  thousand  precious  gifts  below, 
And  hope  of  nobler  joys  above. 

4  Thus  may  we  sing  till  nature  cease, — 
Till  sense  and  language  are  no  more, 

And,  after  death,  thy  boundless  grace 
Through  everlasting  years  adore. 
O.  Heginbothom 


Who  reigns  and  shall  forever  reign. 

2  His     sov'reign    power    our     bodies 

made; 
Our  souls  are  his  immortal  breath  ; 
And  when  his  creatures  sinn'd,  he  bled, 
To  save  us  from  eternal  death. 

3  Burn,  every  breast,  with  Jesus'  love  ; 
Bound,  every    heart,    with    rapt'rous 

py; 

And  saints  on  earth,  with  saints  above, 
Your  voices  in  his  praise  employ. 

4  Extol  the  Lamb  with  loftiest  song, 
Ascend  for  him  our  cheerful  strain ; 

Worship  and  thanks  to  him  belong, 
Who  reigns  and  shall  forever  reign.

The  Lord  to  thee  is  kind.

His  wrath  is  ever  slow  to  rise, 
And  ready  to  abate. 


4  He  pardons  all  thy  sins, 
Prolongs  thy  feeble  breath  ; 

He  heals  all  thine  infirmities,

1  When  all  thy  mercies,  O  my  God, 
My  rising  soul  surveys, 

Transported  with  the  view,  I'm  lost 
In  wonder,  love,  and  praise. 

2  Unnumbered  comforts  to  my  soul 
Thy  tender  care  bestowed, 

Before  my  infant  heart  conceived 
From  whom  those  comforts  flowed. 


4  Ten  thousand  thousand  precious  gifts 
My  daily  thanks  employ  ; 

Nor  is  the  least  a  cheerful  heart 
That  tastes  those  gifts  with  joy. 

5  Through  every  period  of  my  life 
Thy  goodness  I'll  pursue ; 

And  after  death,  in  distant  worlds, 
The  glorious  theme  renew. 


3  When  worn  with  sickness,  oft  hast  thou  6   Through  all  eternity  to  thee 

With  health  renewed  my  face;  A  joyful  song  I'll  raise; 

And,  when  in  sins  and  sorrows  sunk,      For  O,  eternity's  too  short 
Revived  my  soul  with  grace.  To  utter  all  thy  praise.

And  love,  and  praise,  and  pray.

With  all  thy  quickening  powers, 
Disclose  a  Saviour's  love, 

And  bless  these  sacred  hours : 
Then  shall  my  soul  new  life  obtain, 
Nor  Sabbaths  e'er  be  spent  in  vain. 
Hayward,  in  J.  Dobell's  Coll. 


3  One  day  amidst  the  place 

Where  my  dear  God  hath  been, 
Is  sweeter  than  ten  thousand  days 
Of  pleasurable  sin. 

4  My  willing  soul  would  stay 

In  such  a  frame  as  this. 
And  sit,  and  sing  herself  away 
To  everlasting  bliss. 
1 8  Isaac  Watts

2  This  is  the  day  of  rest : 
Our  failing  strength  renew  ; 

On  weary  brain  and  troubled  breast 
Shed  thou  thy  freshening  dew. 

3  This  is  the  day  of  peace : 
Thy  peace  our  spirits  fill ; 

Bid  thou  the  blasts  of  discord  cease, 
The  waves  of  strife  be  still.

4  This  is  the  day  of  prayer : 

Let  earth  to  heaven  draw  near : 
Lift  up  our  hearts  to  seek  thee  there ; 
Come  down  to  meet  us  here. 

5  This  is  the  first  of  days  : 

Send  forth  thy  quickening  breath, 
And  wake  dead  souls  to  love  and  praise, 
O  vanquisher  of  death  !

(ST.  MICHAEL)    S.  M. 


1  Hail  to  the  Sabbath  day  1 
The  day  divinely  given, 

When  men  to  God  their  homage  pay, 
And  earth  draws  near  to  heaven. 

2  Lord,  in  this  sacred  hour, 
Within  thy  courts  we  bend, 

And  bless  thy  love  and  own  thy  power, 
Our  Father  and  our  Friend. 


3  Here  we  come  thy  name  to  praise, 
Let  us  feel  thy  presence  near; 

May  thy  glory  meet  our  eyes, 

While  we  in  thy  house  appear  ; 
Here  afford  us,  Lord,  a  taste 
Of  our  everlasting  feast. 

4  May  thy  Gospel's  joyful  sound 
Conquer  sinners,  comfort  saints  ; 

May  the  fruits  of  grace  abound, 

Bring  relief  for  all  complaints  : 
Thus  may  all  our  Sabbaths  prove 
Till  we  join  the  church  above. 

John  Newton 


3  But  thou  art  not  alone 

In  courts  by  mortals  trod ; 
Nor  only  is  the  day  thine  own 
When  man  draws  near  to  God : 

4  Thy  temple  is  the  arch 
Of  yon  unmeasured  sky ; 

Thy  Sabbath,  the  stupendous  march 
Of  vast  eternity.

2  Another  day;  we  fold  our  palms        Of  evanescent  sense  and  sound  — 
With  tenderest  breath  of  grateful  psalms, A  Sabbath-land  of  rest  profound. 
Because  our  Sabbaths  God  has  given,        A  Sabbath.land  where  love  shall  find 
Another  stepping-stone  to  heaven.  Fulfillment  of  God's  promise  kind- 

3  Another  day ;  we  pause  and  think      A  glad  surcease  of  pain  and  tears,

The  church  from  her  dear  Master 

Received  the  gift  divine, 
And  still  that  light  she  lifteth 

O'er  all  the  earth  to  shine. 
It  is  the  golden  casket, 

Where  gems  of  truth  are  stored 
It  is  the  heaven-drawn  picture 

Of  Christ,  the  living  word. 

It  floateth  like  a  banner 

Before  God's  host  unfurled  ; 

It  shineth  like  a  beacon 
Above  the  darkling  world. 


124 


It  is  the  chart  and  compass 
That  o'er  life's  surging  sea, 

'Mid  mists  and  rocks  and  quicksands, 
Still  guides,  O  Christ,  to  thee. 

O  make  thy  church,  dear  Saviour, 

A  lamp  of  purest  gold, 
To  bear  before  the  nations 

Thy  true  light,  as  of  old. 
O  teach  thy  wandering  pilgrims 

By  this  their  path  to  trace, 
Till,  clouds  and  darkness  ended, 

They  see  thee  face  to  face.

Mine,  to  show  a  Saviour's  love ; 
Mine  art  thou  to  guide  my  feet ; 
Mine  to  judge,  condemn,  acquit.

If  the  Holy  Spirit  bless ; 
Mine,  to  show  by  living  faith 
Man  can  triumph  over  death.

And  the  rebel  sinner's  doom ;

2  Here  may  the  wretched  sons  of  want 

Exhaustless  riches  find, 
Riches  above  what  earth  can  grant, 
And  lasting  as  the  mind. 

3  Here  the  fair  tree  of  knowledge  grows, 

And  yields  a  free  repast ; 
Sublimer  sweets  than  nature  knows 
Invite  the  longing  taste.

Without  thee  how  could  earth  be  trod, 
Or  heaven  itself  be  won  ? 

5   Yet  to  unfold  thy  hidden  worth, 

Thy  mysteries  to  reveal, 
That  Spirit  which  first  gave  thee  forth 

Thy  volume  must  unseal. 

6  And  we,  if  we  aright  would  learn 

The  wisdom  it  imparts, 
Must  to  its  heavenly  teaching  turn 

With  simple,  childlike  hearts. 
Bernard  Barton 


(ORTONVILLE) 

i   The  Spirit  breathes  upon  the  word, 
And  brings  the  truth  to  sight ; 
Precepts  and  promises  afford 
A  sanctifying  light. 

2  A  glory  gilds  the  sacred  page, 

Majestic,  like  the  sun  : 
It  gives  a  light  to  every  age ; 
It  gives,  but  borrows  none. 

3  The  hand  that  gave  it  still  supplies 

The  gracious  light  and  heat : 


129 


His  truths  upon  the  nations  rise ; 
They  rise,  but  never  set. 

Let  everlasting  thanks  be  thine 
For  such  a  bright  display 

As  makes  a  world  of  darkness  shine 
With  beams  of  heavenly  day. 

My  soul  rejoices  to  pursue 

The  steps  of  him  I  love, 
Till  glory  break  upon  my  view 

In  brighter  worlds  above.

All  nature  sings  thy  boundless  love, 
In  worlds  below,  and  worlds  above ; 
But  in  thy  blessed  word  I  trace 
Diviner  wonders  of  thy  grace. 
There  Jesus  bids  my  sorrows  cease, 
And  gives  my  laboring  conscience 
peace ; 


r 


Raises  my  grateful  thoughts  on  high, 
And  points  to  mansions  in  the  sky. 
4  For  love  like  this,  O  let  my  song, 
Through   endless   years,  thy   praise 

prolong ; 
Let  distant  climes  thy  name  adore, 
Till  time  and  nature  are  no  more. 
O.  Heginbothom 

98       (PARK  STREET)     L.  M. 
1  God,  in  the  gospel  of  his  Son, 
Makes  his  eternal  counsels  known, 
Where  love  in  all  its  glory  shines, 
And  truth  is  drawn  in  fairest  lines. 
Here  sinners  of  a  humble  frame 
May  taste  his  grace,  and  learn  his 

name ; 
May  read  in  characters  of  blood, 
The  wisdom,  power,  and  grace  of  God. 
Here  faith  reveals  to  mortal  eyes 
A  brighter  world  beyond  the  skies  ; 
Here  shines  the  light  which  guides 

our  way 
From  earth  to  realms  of  endless  day. 
4  But  long  as  stands  Jehovah's  throne,  4  Oh,  grant  us  grace,  almighty  Lord, 

Long  as  his  being  shall  endure,  To  read  and  mark  thy  holy  word, 

So  long  the  truth  his  lips  proclaim  Its  truths  with  meekness  to  receive, 

Remains  inviolably  sure.  And  by  its  holy  precepts  live. 

Thomas  H.  Stockton  Benjamin  Beddome

1  Can  truth  divine  fulfillment  fail  ? 
Sooner  shall  star-crowned  nature  die ! 

Truth  is  the  very  breath  of  God  — 
Part  of  his  own  eternity. 

2  Earth's  every  pulse  may  cease  to  flow, 
And  every  voice  be  heard  no  more ; 

The  forest  crumble  on  the  mount  — 
The  sea  corrupt  upon  the  shore ; 

3  The  moon's  supply  of  light  expire, 
The  sun  itself  grow  dense  with  gloom, 

And  fairer  systems,  sphered  afar, 
Dissolving,  own  the  common  doom  ;

2  Rebel,  ye  waves,  and  o'er  the  land 

With  threat'ning  aspect  roar  1 

The  Lord  uplifts  his  awful  hand, 

And  chains  you  to  the  shore. 

3  Howl,  winds  of  night  1  your  force  corn- 

Without  his  high  behest,     [bine  1 
Ye  shall  not,  in  the  mountain  pine, 
Disturb  the  sparrow's  nest. 

IO6      (NAOMI)    CM. 

i   Lord,  all  I  am  is  known  to  thee : 
In  vain  my  soul  would  try 
To  shun  thy  presence,  or  to  flee 
The  notice  of  thine  eye. 

2  Thy  all-surrounding  sight  surveys 

My  rising  and  my  rest, 
My  public  walks,  my  private  ways, 
The  secrets  of  my  breast. 

3  My  thoughts  lie  open  to  thee,  Lord, 

Before  they're  formed  within  ; 
And  ere  my  lips  pronounce  the  word, 
Thou  know'st  the  sense  I  mean. 

4  O  wondrous    knowledge,   deep  and 

Where  can  a  creature  hide  ?  [high  1 
Within  thy  circling  arms  I  lie, 
Beset  on  every  side. 


4  His  voice  sublime  is  heard  afar, 
In  distant  peals  it  dies : 

He  yokes  the  whirlwinds  to  his  car, 
And  sweeps  the  howling  skies. 

5  Ye  nations,  bend  —  in  rev'rence  bend : 
Ye  monarchs,  wait  his  nod ; 

And  bid  the  choral  song  ascend 
To  celebrate  our  God. 

Henry  Kirke  White 

107      (ST,  MARTIN'S)     CM. 

1  Praise  ye  the  Lord,  ye  immortal  choirs 
That  fill  the  worlds  above ; 

Praise  him  who  formed  you  of  his  fires, 
And  feeds  you  with  his  love. 

2  Shine  to  his  praise,  ye  crystal  skies, 
The  floor  of  his  abode  ; 

Or  veil  in  shades  your  thousand  eyes 
Before  your  brighter  God. 

3  Thou  restless  globe  of  golden  light, 
Whose  beams  create  our  days, 

Join  with  the  silver  queen  of  night, 
To  own  your  borrowed  rays. 

4  Shout  to  the  Lord,  ye  surging  seas, 
In  your  eternal  roar ; 

Let  wave  to  wave  resound  his  praise, 
And  shore  reply  to  shore.

Sheds  on  our  path  the  glow  of  day ;

Cheers  the  long  watches  of  the  night. 

3  Our  midnight    is    thy    smile  with-

One  holy  light,  one  heavenly  flame.

And  I  am  thine  by  sacred  ties,    [blood.   This  work  shall  make  my  heart  rejoice,

Confirm  the  tidings  as  they  roll, 

And  spread  the  truth  from  pole  to  pole 

5  What  though  in  solemn  silence  all 
Move  round  the  dark  terrestrial  ball  ? 
What  though  nor  real  voice  nor  sound 
Amid  their  radiant  orbs  be  found  ? 

6  In  reason's  ear  they  all  rejoice, 
And  utter  forth  a  glorious  voice ; 
Forever  singing,  as  they  shine, 

"  The  hand  that  made  us  is  divine." 
Joseph  Addison 


The  whole  creation  is  thy  charge, 
But  saints  are  thy  peculiar  care. 

4  From  the  provisions  of  thy  house 
We  shall  be  fed  with  sweet  repast ; 

There  mercy  like  a  river  flows, 
And  brings  salvation  to  our  taste. 

5  Life,  like  a  fountain,  rich  and  free, 
Springs  from  the  presence  of  my  Lord; 

And  in  thy  light  our  souls  shall  see 
The  glories  promised  in  thy  word.

2  Deep  in  unfathomable  mines 

Of  never-failing  skill, 
He  treasures  up  his  bright  designs, 

And  works  his  sovereign  will. 
I  Ye  fearful  saints,  fresh  courage  take : 

The  clouds  ye  so  much  dread 
Are  big  with  mercy,  and  shall  break 

In  blessings  on  your  head. 
4  Judge  not  the  Lord  by  feeble  sense, 

But  trust  him  for  his  grace : 

Il6      (WILMOT)     8.7.8.7 

1  God  is  love  :  his  mercy  brightens 
All  the  path  in  which  we  rove ; 

Bliss  he  wakes,  and  woe  he  lightens : 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

2  Chance  and  change  are  busy  ever ; 
Man  decays,  and  ages  move ; 

But  his  mercy  waneth  never : 
God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

3  E'en  the  hour  that  darkest  seemeth 
Will  his  changeless  goodness  prove  ; 


Behind  a  frowning  providence 
He  hides  a  smiling  face. 

5  His  purposes  will  ripen  fast, 

Unfolding  every  hour : 
The  bud  may  have  a  bitter  taste, 
But  sweet  will  be  the  flower. 

6  Blind  unbelief  is  sure  to  err, 

And  scan  his  work  in  vain ; 
God  is  his  own  interpreter, 
And  he  will  make  it  plain. 

William  Cowper 

117      (MANOAH)     c.M. 

1  Let  every  tongue  thy  goodness  speak, 
Thou  sovereign  Lord  of  all :     [weak, 

Thy    strengthening    hands   uphold    the 
And  raise  the  poor  that  fall. 

2  When  sorrows  bow  the  spirit  down, 
When  virtue  lies  distressed 

Beneath  the  proud  oppressor's  frown, 
Thou  giv'st  the  mourner  rest. 

3  Thou  know'st  the  pains  thy  servants 
Thou  hear'st  thy  children's  cry  ;  [feel, 


From  the  mist  his  brightness  streameth:  And  their  best  wishes  to  fulfill, 


God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 
4  He  with  earthly  cares  entwineth 

Hope  and  comfort  from  above  ; 
Everywhere  his  glory  shineth : 

God  is  wisdom,  God  is  love. 

John  Bowring 


Thy  grace  is  ever  nigh. 
4  Thy  mercy  never  shall  remove 

From  men  of  heart  sincere : 
Thou  sav'st  the  souls  whose  humble  love 

Is  joined  with  holy  fear.

Sweet  with  eternal  good.

2  Thrice  comfortable  hope, 

That  calms  my  troubled  breast ; 
My  Father's  hand  prepares  the  cup, 
And  what  he  wills  is  best. 

3  If  what  I  wish  is  good, 

And  suits  the  will  divine, 
By  earth  and  hell  in  vain  withstood, 
I  know  it  shall  be  mine. 

124       (DENNIS)     S.  M. 

1  How  gentle  God's  commands, 
How  kind  his  precepts  are  ! 

Come,  cast  your  burdens  on  the  Lord, 
And  trust  his  constant  care. 

2  While  Providence  supports, 
Let  saints  securely  dwell ; 

That  hand,  which  bears  all  nature  up, 
Shall  guide  his  children  well. 

3  Why  should  this  anxious  load 
Press  down  your  weary  mind  ? 

Haste  to  your  heavenly  Father's  throne, 
And  sweet  refreshment  find. 

4  His  goodness  stands  approved, 
Down  to  the  present  day ; 

I'll  drop  my  burden  at  his  feet, 
And  bear  a  song  away. 

Philip  Doddridge 


Still  let  them  counsel  take 

To  frustrate  his  decree ; 
They  cannot  keep  a  blessing  back, 

By  Heaven  designed  for  me. 

Here  then  I  doubt  no  more, 

But  in  his  pleasure  rest, 
Whose  wisdom,  love,  and  truth,  and 

Engage  to  make  me  blest,     [power, 
Charles  Wesley 

25       (HAYDN)     S.  M. 
Thy  way  is  in  the  sea ; 

Thy  paths  we  cannot  trace; 
Nor  solve,  O  Lord,  the  mystery 

Of  thy  unbounded  grace. 
Here  the  dark  veils  of  sense 

Our  captive  souls  surround  ; 
Mysterious  deeps  of  providence 

Our  wondering  thoughts  confound. 
In  part  we  know  thy  will. 

And  bless  thee  for  the  sight : 
Soon  will  thy  love  the  rest  reveal 

In  glory's  clearer  light. 
With  joy  shall  we  survey 

Thy  providence  and  grace ; 
And  spend  an  everlasting  day 

In  wonder,  love,  and  praise.

2  Cold  on  his  cradle  the  dew-drops  are  shining, 

Low  lies  his  head  with  the  beasts  of  the  stall, 
Angels  adore  him  in  slumber  reclining,  — 
Maker,  and  Monarch,  and  Saviour  of  all. 

3  Say,  shall  we  yield  him,  in  costly  devotion, 

Odors  of  Edom,  and  off'rings  divine  ? 
Gems  of  the  mountain,  and  pearls  of  the  ocean, 
Myrrh  from  the  forest,  and  gold  from  the  mine  ? 

4  Vainly  we  offer  each  ample  oblation  ; 

Vainly  with  gifts  would  his  favor  secure  ; 
Richer  by  far  is  the  heart's  adoration ; 

Dearer  to  God  are  the  prayers  of  the  poor !

Let  us  find  our  rest  in  thee.  Now  thy  gracious  kingdom  bring.

Hope  of  all  the  earth  thou  art ; 
Dear  desire  of  every  nation, 
Joy  of  every  longing  heart.

Rule  in  all  our  hearts  alone ; 
By  thine  all-sufficient  merit 

Raise  us  to  thy  glorious  throne.

2  Still  through  the  cloven  skies  they 
With  peaceful  wings  unfurled;  [come, 

And  still  celestial  music  floats 

O'er  all  the  weary  world ; 
Above  its  sad  and  lowly  plains 

They  bend  on  heavenly  wing, 
And  ever  o'er  its  Babel  sounds, 

The  blessed  angels  sing. 

3  O  ye,  beneath  life's  crushing  load, 
Whose  forms  are  bending  low, 

Who  toil  along  the  climbing  way, 
With  painful  steps  and  slow ;  — 

I36       (CAROL)     C.  M.  D. 

1   While  shepherds  watched  their  flocks 
All  seated  on  the  ground;  [by  night, 

The  angel  of  the  Lord  came  down, 
And  glory  shone  around. 


Look  up  1  for  glad  and  golden  hours 

Come  swiftly  on  the  wing ; 
Oh,  rest  beside  the  weary  road, 

And  hear  the  angels  sing  1 
4  For  lo !  the  days  are  hastening  on, 

By  prophet-bards  foretold, 
When  with  the  ever-circling  years 

Comes  round  the  age  of  gold  1 
When  peace  shall  over  all  the  earth 

Its  final  splendors  fling, 
And  the  whole  world  send  back  the  song 

Which  now  the  angels  sing ! 

Edwin  H.  Sears 


Fear  not,"  said  he, — for  mighty  dread 
Had  seized  their  troubled  mind, — 

Glad  tidings  of  great  joy  I  bring, 
To  you  and  all  mankind.

2   "To  you,  in  David's  town  this  day, 

Is  born  of  David's  line, 
The  Saviour,  who  is  Christ,  the  Lord, 

And  this  shall  be  the  sign  ;  — 
The  heavenly  babe  you  there  shall  find 

To  human  view  displayed, 
All  meanly  wrapped  in  swathing  bands, 

And  in  a  manger  laid." 


137      WEBB    76.7.6.  D. 


3  Thus  spake  the  seraph  —  and  forth- 
Appeared  a  shining  throng         [with 
Of  angels,  praising  God,  who  thus 

Addressed  their  joyful  song  :  — 
"All  glory  be  to  God  on  high, 

And  to  the  earth  be  peace ; 
Good-will  henceforth  from  heaven  to  men 

Begin,  and  never  cease  !  "

He  shall  come  down  like  showers 

Upon  the  fruitful  earth, 
And  love,  and  joy,  like  flowers, 

Spring  in  his  path  to  birth ; 
Before  him,  on  the  mountains, 

Shall  peace  the  herald  go, 
And  righteousness  in  fountains 

From  hill  to  valley  flow.

Kings  shall  fall  down  before  him, 

And  gold  and  incense  bring: 
All  nations  shall  adore  him  ; 

His  praise  all  people  sing; 
For  he  shall  have  dominion 

O'er  river,  sea,  and  shore, 
Far  as  the  eagle's  pinion 

Or  dove's  light  wing  can  soar.

2   Shepherds,  in  the  field  abiding,  4  Saints,  before  the  altar  bending, 


Watching  o'er  your  flocks  by  night, 
God  with  man  is  now  residing ; 
Yonder  shines  the  infant  light : 

Come  and  worship, 
Worship  Christ,  the  newborn  King. 

3  Sages,  leave  your  contemplations, 
Brighter  visions  beam  afar  ; 
Seek  the  great  Desire  of  nations  ; 
Ye  have  seen  his  natal  star : 

Come  and  worship, 
Worship  Christ,  the  newborn  King 


Watching  long  in  hope  and  fear, 
Suddenly  the  Lord,  descending, 
In  his  temple  shall  appear : 

Come  and  worship, 
Worship  Christ,  the  newborn  King. 

5   Sinners,  wrung  with  true  repentance, 
Doomed  for  guilt  to  endless  pains, 
Justice  now  revokes  the  sentence, 
Mercy  calls  you — break  your  chains: 

Come  and  worship, 
Worship  Christ,  the  newborn  King.

The  Saviour  promised  long !   [comes  ! 

Let  every  heart  prepare  a  throne, 
And  every  voice  a  song. 

2  He  comes,  the  prisoner  to  release, 
In  Satan's  bondage  held : 

The  gates  of  brass  before  him  burst ; 
The  iron  fetters  yield  ! 

3  He  comes,  from  thickest  films  of  vice 
To  clear  the  mental  ray ; 


He  comes  to  make  his  blessings  flow, 
Far  as  the  curse  is  found. 

4  He  rules  the  world  with  truth  and  grace 
And  makes  the  nations  prove 

The  glories  of  his  righteousness, 
And  wonders  of  his  love. 

Isaac  Watts 


And  on  the  eyes  oppressed  with  night 
To  pour  celestial  day.

The  wounded  soul  to  cure ; 

And,  with  the  treasures  of  his  grace, 
T'  enrich  the  humble  poor. 

5  Our  glad  hosannas,  Prince  of  peace

By  permission  of  L.  H.  Redner. 

For  Christ  is  born  of  Mary ; 

And  gathered  all  above, 
While  mortals  sleep,  the  angels  keep 

Their  watch  of  wondering  love. 
O  morning  stars,  together 

Proclaim  the  holy  birth  ; 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 

And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 

How  silently,  how  silently, 
The  wondrous  gift  is  given  1 

So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 
The  blessings  of  his  heaven. 


1 — i— r-T- 


No  ear  may  hear  his  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin, 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive   him 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in.       [still, 

O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem, 

Descend  to  us,  we  pray ; 
Cast  out  our  sin,  and  enter  in, 

Be  born  in  us  to-day. 
We  hear  the  Christmas  angels 

The  great  glad  tidings  tell ; 
O  come  to  us,  abide  with  us, 

Our  Lord  Emmanuel.

As  with  joyful  steps  they  sped, 
Saviour,  to  thy  manger  bed, 
There  to  bend  the  knee  before 
Thee  whom  heaven  and  earth  adore ; 
So  may  we  with  willing  feet 
Ever  seek  the  mercy-seat.

As  they  offered  gifts  most  rare 
At  thy  cradle  rude  and  bare, 
So  may  we  with  holy  joy, 
Pure  and  free  from  sin's  alloy, 
All  our  costliest  treasures  bring, 
Christ,  to  thee  our  heavenly  King. 


Holy  Jesus,  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  way ; 
And,  when  earthly  things  are  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souls  at  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  thy  glory  hide.

Let  it  shine  in  endless  fame ; 
God  and  man  in  Christ  unite ;

With  the  first  transgressor's  blot ; 
Yet  did  he  our  sins  sustain, 


Oh,  mysterious  depth  and  height  1  Bear  the  guilt,  the  curse,  the  pain. 


God  with  us  I  the  eternal  Son 
Took  our  soul,  our  flesh,  and  bone  ; 
Now,  ye  saints,  his  grace  admire, 
Swell  the  song  with  holy  fire.

Such  deference  to  thy  Father's  will, 
Such  love,  and  meekness  so  divine,

Thy  conflict  and  thy  victory  too.

1  How  sweetly  flowed  the  gospel  sound 
From  lips  of  gentleness  and  grace, 

While    listening    thousands     gathered 
round, 
And  joy  and  reverence  filled  the  place ! 

2  From  heaven  he  came,  of  heaven  he 
spoke, 

To  heaven  he  led  his  followers'  way; 
He  followed  where  the  Master  went.  Dark  clouds  of  gloomy  night  he  broke, 

Unvailing  an  immortal  day. 

3  "  Come,   wanderers,  to   my  Father's 
home, 

Come,  all  ye  weary  ones,  and  rest :  " 
Yes,  sacred  Teacher,  we  will  come, 
Obey  and  be  forever  blest ! 

4,  Then,  in  clear  daylight,  shall  we  see  4  Decay  then,  tenements  of  dust; 
Where  walked  the  sinless  Son  of  God;      Pillars  of  earthly  pride,  decay : 
And,  aided  by  new  strength  from  thee,  A  nobler  mansion  waits  the  just, 
Press  onward  in  the  path  he  trod.  And  Jesus  has  prepared  the  way.

By  friendly  hands  to  Jesus  led, 

Prayed  to  behold  the  light  of  day, 
"  Receive  thy  sight,"  the  Saviour  said. 

2  At  once  he  saw  the  pleasant  rays 
That  lit  the  glorious  firmament ; 

And,  with  firm  step  and  words  of  praise, 


3  Look  down  in  pity,  Lord,  we  pray, 
On  eyes  oppressed  by  moral  night, 

And  touch  the  darkened  lids,  and  say 
The  gracious  words,  "  Receive  thy 
sight."

2  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 

With  thee,  and  with  thy  faithful  three, 
Here,  where  the  apostle's  heart  of  rock 
Is  nerved  against  temptation's  shock; 
Here,  where  the  son  of  thunder  learns 
The  thought  that  breathes,  and  word 

that  burns ; 
Here,  where  on  eagle's  wings  we  move 
With  him  whose  last  best  creed  is  love. 

3  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Entranced,  enwrapt,  alone  with  thee ; 
And  watch  thy  glistering  raiment  glow 
Whiter  than  Hermon's  whitest  snow, 


The  human  lineaments  that  shine 
Irradiant  with  a  light  divine, 
Till  we,  too,  change  from  grace  to  grace, 
Gazing  on  that  transfigured  face. 

4  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Here  on  the  holy  mount  with  thee, 
When  darkling  in  the  depths  of  night, 
When  dazzled  with  excess  of  light, 
We  bow  before  the  heavenly  voice 
That  bids  bewildered  souls  rejoice, 
Though   love  wax  cold,    and  faith  be 

dim, 
11  This  is  my  Son,  oh,  hear  ye  him."

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  should  boast,  Did  e'er  such  love  and  sorrow  meet, 
Save  in  the  death  of  Christ,  my  God;  Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown  ? 

All  the  vain  things  that  charm  me  most,  4  \vere  the  whole  realm  of  nature  mine, 

I  sacrifice  them  to  his  blood.  That  were  a  present  far  too  small ; 

3  See, from  his  head,  his  hands,  his  feet,  Love  so  amazing,  so  divine, 
Sorrow  and  love  flow  mingled  down  :  Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my  all.

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  have  done     4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face 

He  groaned  upon  the  tree  !  While  his  dear  cross  appears ; 

Amazing  pity  !     Grace  unknown  !  Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness. 

And  love  beyond  degree  !  And  melt  mine  eyes  to  tears. 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide,  5   But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

And  shut  his  glories  in,  The  debt  of  love  I  owe  ; 

When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died       Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, 
For  man  the  creature's  sin.  'Tis  all  that  I  can  do.

Come  see,  ye  worms,  your  Saviour  die, 

And  say  was  ever  grief  like  his  ? 
Come,  feel  with  me  his  blood  applied : 
My  Lord,  my  love,  is  crucified :  —

Hopes  deceive,  and  fears  annoy, 
Never  shall  the  cross  forsake  me : 
Lo  1  it  glows  with  peace  and  joy. 


Ye  all  are  bought  with  Jesus'  blood ; 
Pardon  for  all  flows  from  his  side : 
My  Lord,  my  love,  is  crucified. 
4  Then  let  us  sit  beneath  his  cross, 

And  gladly  catch  the  healing  stream 
All  things  for  him  account  but  loss, 

And  give  up  all  our  hearts  to  him : 
Of  nothing  think  or  speak  beside,  — 
My  Lord,  my  love,  is  crucified. 

Charles  Wesley 


3  When  the  sun  of  bliss  is  beaming

From  the  cross  the  radiance  stream- 
Adds  more  lustre  to  the  day.     [ing

By  the  cross  are  sanctified ;

And  all  his  wonders  tell.  The  church  on  earth  can  raise  ! 

3  Hosanna  to  the  anointed  King,  The  highest  heavens  in  which  he  reigns 
To  David's  holy  Son !  Shall  give  him  nobler  praise.

Of  glory  was  display'd, 
By  the  eternal  word,  than  when 
This  universe  was  made.

With  grief  and  pain  extreme :

'Twas  greater  to  redeem,  [naught ;

2  Jesus,  the  Saviour,  reigns, 
The  God  of  truth  and  love  ; 

When  he  had  purged  our  stains, 

He  took  his  seat  above  : 
Lift  upyour  hearts,  lift  up  your  voice ; 
Rejoice,  again  I  say,  rejoice. 

3  His  kingdom  cannot  fail, 

He  rules  o'er  earth  and  heaven ; 
The  keys  of  death  and  hell 

Are  to  our  Jesus  given : 
Lift  upyour  hearts, lift  up  yourvoice; 
Rejoice,  again  I  say,  rejoice. 

4  He  sits  at  God's  right  hand 
Till  all  his  foes  submit, 

And  bow  to  his  command, 

And  fall  beneath  his  feet : 
Lift  up  your  hearts,  lift  up  your  voice ; 
Rejoice,  again  I  say,  rejoice. 

Charles  Wesley

i  Awake,  ye  saints,  awake  1 
And  hail  this  sacred  day : 
In  loftiest  songs  of  praise 
Your  joyful  homage  pay : 
Come,  bless  the  day  that  God  hath  blest, 
The  type  of  heaven's  eternal  rest. 

2  On  this  auspicious  morn 

The  Lord  of  life  arose ; 
He  burst  the  bars  of  death, 

And  vanquished  all  our  foes  ; 
And  now  he  pleads  our  cause  above, 
And  reaps  the  fruit  of  all  his  love. 

3  All  hail,  triumphant  Lord  ! 

Heaven  with  hosannas  rings, 

And  earth,  in  humbler  strains, 

Thy  praise  responsive  sings  : 

Worthy  the  Lamb,  that  once  was  slain. 

Through  endless  years  to  live  and  reign.

Saints  and  angels  crowd  around  him, 
Own  his  title,  praise  his  name ; 

Crown  him,  crown  him ; 
Spread  abroad  the  Victor's  fame. 
4  Hark,  those  bursts  of  acclamation  1 
Hark,  those  loud  triumphant  chords  I 
Jesus  takes  the  highest  station : 
O  what  joy  the  sight  affords  1 
Crown  him,  crown  him, 
King  pf  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords. 
Thomas  Kelly 


3  Break  off  your  tears,  ye  saints,  and  tell 
How  high  your  great  Deliv'rer  reigns; 

Sing  how  he  spoil'd  the  hosts  of  hell, 
And  led  the  monster  death  in  chains  t 

4  Say,  Live  forever,  wondrous  King  1 
Born  to  redeem,  and  strong  to  save ; 

Then  ask  the  monster,  Where's  thy  sting, 
And,   Where's  thy  vict'ry,   boasting 
grave  ? 
92        Isaac  Watts.     Alt.  by  John  Wesley 


2  Crown  the   Saviour,  angels,  crown 

him; 
Rich  the  trophies  Jesus  brings ; 
In  the  seat  of  power  enthrone  him, 
While  the  vault  of  heaven  rings  : 

Crown  him,  crown  him ; 
Crown  the  Saviour  King  of  kings. 

3  Sinners  in  derision  crowned  him, 
Mocking  thus  the  Saviour's  claim ; 

194      (EASTON)    L.  M. 

1  Here's  love  and  grief  beyond  degree : 
The  Lord  of  glory  dies  for  man  1 

But  lo  !  what  sudden  joys  we  see  : 
Jesus,  the  dead,  revives  again. 

2  The  rising  God  forsakes  the  tomb  ; 
(In  vain  the  tomb  forbids  his  rise  ;) 

Cherubic  legions  guard  him  home, 
And  shout  him  welcome  to  the  skies.

Perfect  in  comeliness  thou  art ;

And  full  of  love  thy  tender  heart ;

And  own  all  fulness  dwells  in  thee. 

3  Gird  on  thy  thigh  the  Spirit's  sword 
And  take  to  thee  thy  power  divine 

Stir  up  thy  strength,  Almighty  Lord. 


All  power  and  majesty  are  thine ; 
Assert  thy  worship  and  renown  ; 
O  all-redeeming  God,  come  down. 
4  Come    and    maintain    thy  righteous

And  let  thy  glorious  toil  succeed ; 
Dispread  the  victory  of  thy  cross ;

2  Crown  him  the  Lord  of  love  : 
Behold  his  hands  and  side, 

Rich  wounds  yet  visible  above, 

In  beauty  glorified : 

No  angel  in  the  sky 

Can  fully  bear  that  sight, 
But  downward  bends  his  burning  eye 

At  mysteries  so  bright. 

3  Crown  him  the  Lord  of  peace : 
Whose  power  a  sceptre  sways 

From  pole  to  pole,  that  wars  may  cease, 
And  all  be  prayer  and  praise : 


'95 


His  reign  shall  know  no  end, 

And  round  his  pierced  feet 
Fair  flowers  of  Paradise  extend 

Their  fragrance  ever  sweet. 
4  Crown  him  the  Lord  of  years, 

The  Potentate  of  time, 
Creator  of  the  rolling  spheres, 

Ineffably  sublime. 

All  hail,  Redeemer,  hail  1 

For  thou  hast  died  for  me ; 
Thy  praise  shall  never,  never  fail 

Throughout  eternity.

2  We  are  watching,  we  are  waiting, 
For  the  star  that  brings  the  day : 

When  the  night  of  sin  shall  vanish, 
And  the  shadows  melt  away. — Cho.

See  that  your  lamps  are  burning ; 

Replenish  them  with  oil ; 
And  wait  for  your  salvation, 

The  end  of  earthly  toil. 
The  watchers  on  the  mountain 

Proclaim  the  Bridegroom  near, 
Go  meet  him  as  he  cometh, 

With  alleluias  clear. 


3  Our  hope  and  expectation, 
O  Jesus,  now  appear ; 
Arise,  thou  Sun  so  longed  for, 
O'er  this  benighted  sphere. 
With  hearts  and  hands  uplifted, 

We  plead,  O  Lord,  to  see 
The  day  of  earth's  redemption 
That  brings  us  unto  thee.

1  Come,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 

With  all  thy  quickening  powers, 
Kindle  a  flame  of  sacred  love 

In  these  cold  hearts  of  ours.  4 

2  Look  —  how  we  grovel  here  below, 

Fond  of  these  earthly  toys  ; 
Our  souls,  how  heavily  they  go, 

To  reach  eternal  joys.  5 

3  In  vain  we  tune  our  formal  songs, 

In  vain  we  strive  to  rise ; 


203 


Hosannas  languish  on  our  tongues; 
And  our  devotion  dies. 

Father,  and  shall  we  ever  live 

At  this  poor  dying  rate, 
Our  love  so  faint,  so  cold  to  thee, 

And  thine  to  us  so  great  ? 

Come,  Holy  Spirit,  heavenly  Dove, 
With  all  thy  quickening  powers  ; 

Come,  shed  abroad  a  Saviour's  love, 
And  that  shall  kindle  ours.

2   No  man  can  truly  say 

That  Jesus  is  the  Lord, 
Unless  thou  take  the  veil  away, 

And  breathe  the  living  word. 
Then,  only  then,  we  feel 

Our  interest  in  his  blood, 
And  cry,  with  joy  unspeakable, 

11  Thou  art  my  Lord,  my  God  1  " 
5  O  that  the  world  might  know 

The  all-atoning  Lamb  1 
Spirit  of  faith,  descend,  and  show 

The  virtue  of  his  name. 


The  grace  which  all  may  find, 

The  saving  power,  impart ; 
And  testify  to  all  mankind, 

And  speak  in  every  heart. 
4  Inspire  the  living  faith, 

Which  whosoe'er  receives, 
The  witness  in  himself  he  hath, 

And  consciously  believes ; 
The  faith  that  conquers  all, 

And  doth  the  mountain  move, 
And  saves  whoe'er  on  Jesus  call, 

And  perfects  them  in  love.

3  Teach  me  to  feel  that  thou  art  always  nigh ; 

Teach  me  the  struggles  of  the  soul  to  bear,

Teach  me  the  patience  of  unanswered  prayer. 

4  Teach  me  to  love  thee  as  thine  angels  love, 

One  holy  passion  filling  all  my  frame ; 
The  baptism  of  the  heaven-descended  Dove, 
My  heart  an  altar,  and  thy  love  the  flame.

Fill  me  full  of  heaven  and  love. 

2  Speak  thy  pardoning  grace  to  me, 
Set  the  burdened  sinner  free  ;

Wash  me  in  his  precious  blood. 

Life  and  peace  to  me  impart ; 
Seal  salvation  on  my  heart ; 
Breathe  thyself  into  my  breast, 
Earnest  of  immortal  rest.

When  I  review  my  ways,

Flee  from  the  wrath  to  come. 

With  trembling  hope,  I  see 
A  glimmering  from  afar  ;

A  beam  of  day  that  shines  for  me 
To  save  me  from  despair.

It  marks  the  pilgrim's  way  ; 

I'll  gaze  upon  it  while  I  run, 
And  watch  the  rising  day.

Salvation  1  O  thou  bleeding  Lamb  1 
To  thee  the  praise  belongs : 

Salvation  shall  inspire  our  hearts, 
And  dwell  upon  our  tongues.

I  love  to  tell  the  story  ; 

'Tis  pleasant  to  repeat 
What  seems,  each  time  I  tell  it, 

More  wonderfully  sweet. 
I  love  to  tell  the  story ; 

For  some  have  never  heard 
The  message  of  salvation 

From  God's  own  holy  word. — Cho. 


4  I  love  to  tell  the  story ; 

For  those  who  know  it  best 
Seem  hungering  and  thirsting 

To  hear  it  like  the  rest. 
And  when,  in  scenes  of  glory, 

I  sing  the  new,  new  song, 
'Twill  be  the  old,  old  story 

That  I  have  loved  so  long! — Cho.

There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy, 

Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea ; 
There's  a  kindness  in  his  justice, 

Which  is  more  than  liberty. 
There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner, 

And  more  graces  for  the  good ; 
There  is  mercy  with  the  Saviour, 

There  is  healing  in  his  blood ; 


There  is  plentiful  redemption 

In  the  blood  that  has  been  shed  ; 
There  is  joy  for  all  the  members 

In  the  sorrows  of  the  Head. 
If  our  love  were  but  more  simple, 

We  should  take  him  at  his  word  ; 
And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 

In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord.

I  lay  my  wants  on  Jesus ; 

All  fulness  dwells  in  him ; 
He  heals  all  my  diseases, 

He  doth  my  soul  redeem : 
I  lay  my  griefs  on  Jesus, 

My  burdens  and  my  cares; 
He  from  them  all  releases, 

He  all  my  sorrows  shares. 

I  rest  my  soul  on  Jesus, 
This  weary  soul  of  mine ; 

His  right  hand  me  embraces, 
I  on  his  breast  recline. 


I  love  the  name  of  Jesus, 

Emmanuel,  Christ,  the  Lord ; 

Like  fragrance  on  the  breezes 
His  name  abroad  is  poured. 

I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

Meek,  loving,  lowly,  mild; 
I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

The  Father's  holy  child: 
I  long  to  be  with  Jesus 

Amid  the  heavenly  throng, 
To  sing  with  saints  his  praises, 

To  learn  the  angels'  song.

1  While  life  prolongs  its  precious  light, 
Mercy  is  found,  and  peace  is  given  ; 

But  soon,  ah,  soon,  approaching  night 
Shall  blot  out  every  hope  of  heaven. 

2  While  God  invites,  how  blest  the  day ! 
How  sweet  the  gospel's  charming 

sound ! 
Come,  sinners,  haste,  O  haste  away, 
While  yet  a  pardoning  God  is  found. 

3  Soon,   borne  on  time's   most  rapid 

wing,  [grave, 

Shall   death  command  you   to  the 
Before  his  bar  your  spirits  bring, 
And  none  be  found  to  hear  or  save. 

4  Now  God  invites  ;  how  blest  the  day ! 
How  sweet   the  gospel's  charming 

sound  ! 
Come,  sinners,  haste,  O  haste  away, 
While  yet  a  pardoning  God  is  found. 
Timothy  Dwight

4  Rise,  touched  with  gratitude  divine  ; 
Turn  out  his  enemy  and  thine, 

That  soul-destroying  monster,  sin, 
And  let  the  heavenly  stranger  in. 

5  Admit  him,  ere  his  anger  burn ; 
His  feet,  departed,  ne'er  return  ; 
Admit  him,  or  the  hour's  at  hand, 
You'll  at  his  door  rejected  stand. 

Joseph  Grigg 

249       (LUTON)     L.  M. 

1  Ho  1  everyone  that  thirsts  draw  nigh: 
'Tis  God  invites  the  fallen  race : 

Mercy  and  free  salvation  buy; 

Buy  wine,  and  milk,  and  gospel  grace. 

2  Come  to  the  living  waters,  come  ! 
Sinners,  obey  your  Maker's  call ; 

Return,  ye  weary  wanderers,  home, 
And  find  his  grace  is  free  for  all. 

3  See  from  the  rock  a  fountain  rise  ; 
For  you  in  healing  streams  it  rolls ; 

Money  ye  need  not  bring,  nor  price, 
Ye  laboring,  burdened,  sin-sick  souls. 


4  Nothing  ye  in  exchange  shall  give ; 
Leave  all  you  have  and  are  behind 
Frankly  the  gift  of  God  receive, 
Pardon  and  peace  in  Jesus  find.

Perhaps  he  will  admit  my  plea, 

Perhaps  will  hear  my  prayer ; 
But,  if  I  perish,  I  will  pray, 

And  perish  only  there. 
I  can  but  perish  if  I  go, 

I  am  resolved  to  try ; 
For,  if  I  stay  away,  I  know 

I  must  forever  die.

Return,  O  wanderer,  return, 

And  seek  thy  Father's  face  ; 
Those   new   desires   which   in   thee 

Were  kindled  by  his  grace,  [burn 
Return,  O  wanderer,  return  ; 

He  hears  thy  humble  sigh  : 
He  sees  thy  softened  spirit  mourn, 

When  no  one  else  is  nigh. 
Return,  O  wanderer,  return; 

Thy  Saviour  bids  thee  live  : 
Come   to  his   cross,   and,  grateful, 

How  freely  he'll  forgive.       [learn 
Return,  O  wanderer,  return, 

And  wipe  the  falling  tear : 
Thy  Father  calls, — no  longer  mourn ; 

'Tis  love  invites  thee  near. 

W.  13.  C Oliver 


Sinners,  the  voice  of  God  regard ; 

'Tis  mercy  speaks  to-day  ; 
He  calls  you  by  his  sacred  word 

From  sin's  destructive  way. 
Like  the  rough  sea,  that  cannot  rest, 

You  live,  devoid  of  peace ; 
A  thousand  stings  within  your  breast 

Deprive  your  souls  of  ease. 
Your  way  is  dark,  and  leads  to  hell : 

Why  will  you  persevere  ? 
Can  you  in  endless  torments  dwell, 

Shut  up  in  black  despair  ? 
Why  will  you  in  the  crooked  ways 

Of  sin  and  folly  go  ? 
In  pain  you  travel  all  your  days, 

To  reach  eternal  woe. 

John  Fawcett

Come  to  Jesus  Christ  and  buy.

Nor  of  fitness  fondly  dream ;

'Tis  the  Spirit's  glimmering  beam. 


Come,  ye  weary,  heavy-laden, 

Bruised  and  mangled  by  the  fall ; 

If  you  tarry  till  you're  better, 
You  will  never  come  at  all : 

Not  the  righteous, 
Sinners,  Jesus  came  to  call. 

Agonizing  in  the  garden, 

Lo  !  your  Maker  prostrate  lies ! 
On  the  bloody  tree  behold  him  l 
Hear  him  cry  before  he  dies, 

"  It  is  finished  I  " 
Sinners,  will  not  this  suffice  ?

Wisdom,  if  thou  still  despise, 
Harder  is  it  to  be  won.

2  By  thy  helpless  infant  years ; 
By  thy  life  of  want  and  tears ; 
By  thy  days  of  sore  distress, 
In  the  savage  wilderness  ; 

By  the  dread  mysterious  hour 
Of  the  insulting  tempter's  power ; 
Turn,  O  turn  a  favoring  eye, 
Hear  our  solemn  litany  ! 

3  By  the  sacred  griefs  that  wept 
O'er  the  grave  where  Lazarus  slept ; 
By  the  boding  tears  that  flowed 
Over  Salem's  loved  abode  ; 

By  the  anguished  sigh  that  told 
Treachery  lurked  within  thy  fold ; 
From  thy  seat  above  the  sky, 
Hear  our  solemn  litany  1 

269      (OLMUTZ)     S.  M. 

1  Ah  !  whither  should  I  go, 

Burdened,  and  sick,  and  faint  ? 
To  whom  should  I  my  trouble  show, 
And  pour  out  my  complaint  ? 

2  My  Saviour  bids  me  come  ; 

Ah  !  why  do  I  delay  ? 
He  calls  the  weary  sinner  home, 
And  yet  from  him  I  stay. 


239 


By  thine  hour  of  dire  despair ; 
By  thine  agony  of  prayer ; 
By  the  cross,  the  nail,  the  thorn, 
Piercing  spear,  and  torturing  scorn  ; 
By  the  gloom  that  veiled  the  skies 
O'er  the  dreadful  sacrifice  ; 
Listen  to  our  humble  cry, 
Hear  our  solemn  litany  ! 

By  thy  deep,  expiring  groan  ; 
By  the  sad  sepulchral  stone  ; 
By  the  vault  whose  dark  abode 
Held  in  vain  the  rising  God  ; 
O  from  earth  to  heaven  restored, 
Mighty,  re-ascended  Lord, 
Listen,  listen  to  the  cry 
Of  our  solemn  litany  ! 

Robert  Grant 


What  is  it  keeps  me  back, 
From  which  I  cannot  part, 

Which  will  not  let  the  Saviour  take 
Possession  of  my  heart  ? 

Searcher  of  hearts,  in  mine 
Thy  trying  power  display  ; 

Into  its  darkest  corners  shine, 
And  take  the  veil  away.

1  Jesus,  the  sinner's  friend,  to  thee, 
Lost  and  undone,  for  aid  I  flee, 
Weary  of  earth,  myself,  and  sin : 
Open  thine  arms,  and  take  me  in. 

2  Pity  and  heal  my  sin-sick  soul ; 
'Tis  thou  alone  canst  make  me  whole; 
Dark,  till  in  me  thine  image  shine, 
And  lost,  I  am,  till  thou  art  mine. 

3  At  last  I  own  it  cannot  be 
That  I  should  fit  myself  for  thee : 
Here,  then,  to  thee  I  all  resign  ; 
Thine  is  the  work,  and  only  thine. 

4  What  shall  I  say  thy  grace  to  move 
Lord,  I  am  sin  —  but  thou  art  love  : 

I  give  up  every  plea  beside  — 
Lord,  I  am  lost — but  thou  hast  died. 
Charles  Wesley 


1  With  broken  heart  and  contrite  sigh, 
A  trembling  sinner,  Lord,  I  cry : 

Thy  pardoning  grace  is  rich  and  free : 
O  God,  be  merciful  to  me  I 

2  Far  off  I  stand  with  tearful  eyes 
Nor  dare  uplift  them  to  the  skies  ; 
But  thou  dost  all  my  anguish  see ; 
O  God,  be  merciful  to  me  ! 

3  Nor  alms,  nor  deeds  that  I  have  done, 
Can  for  a  single  sin  atone ; 

To  Calvary  alone  I  flee : 
O  God,  be  merciful  to  me  ! 

'  4  And  when,  redeemed  from  sin  and  hell, 
With  all  the  ransomed  throng  I  dwell, 
My  raptured  song  shall  ever  be, 
God  has  been  merciful  to  me  1

2  My  crimes  are  great,  but  don't  surpass 
The  power  and  glory  of  thy  grace ; 
Great  God,  thy  nature  hath  no  bound, 
So  let  thy  pardoning  love  be  found. 

3  O  wash  my  soul  from  every  sin, 
And  make  my  guilty  conscience  clean ; 
Here  on  my  heart  the  burden  lies, 
And  past  offenses  pain  my  eyes. 


4  My  lips  with  shame  my  sins  confess 
Against  thy  law,  against  thy  grace  ; 
Lord,  should  thy  judgments  grow  severe, 
I  am  condemned,  but  thou  art  clear. 

5  Yet  save  a  trembling  sinner,  Lord, 
Whose  hope  still  hovering  round  thy  word 
Would  light  on  some  sweet  promise  there, 
Some  sure  support  against  despair.

Nor  take  thine  everlasting  flight.

And  shaken  off  my  guilty  fears ;  [heart, 

And  vexed,  and  urged  thee  to  depart, 
For  many  long  rebellious  years :

Of  all  who  e'er  thy  grace  received ; 

Ten  thousand  times  thy  goodness  seen;

In  honor  of  my  great  High  Priest ; 

Nor  in  thy  righteous  anger  swear 
To  exclude  me  from  thy  people's  rest.

Contrition's  humble  sigh ; 

Whose  hand  indulgent  wipes  the  tears

A  wretched  wanderer  mourn  ; 

Hast  thou  not  bid  me  seek  thy  face  ? 
Hast  thou  not  said  —  "  Return  "  ?

To  drive  me  from  thy  feet  ? 


This  only  safe  retreat ! 

4  Oh,  shine  on  this  benighted  heart,

2  O  Jesus,  thou  art  knocking : 

And  lo  I  that  hand  is  scarred, 
And  thorns  thy  brow  encircle, 

And  tears  thy  face  have  marred 
Oh,  love  that  passeth  knowledge, 

So  patiently  to  wait  1 
Oh,  sin  that  hath  no  equal, 

So  fast  to  bar  the  gate  1 


3  O  Jesus,  thou  art  pleading 

In  accents  meek  and  low, — 
"  I  died  for  you,  my  children, 
And  will  ye  treat  me  so  ?  " 
O  Lord,  with  shame  and  sorrow 

We  open  now  the  door : 
Dear  Saviour,  enter,  enter, 
And  leave  us  nevermore  1

Made  up  of  innocence  and  love ; 
And  soft  and  silent  as  the  shades 
Their  nightly  minutes  gently  move 


But  spend  the  day  and  share  the  night 
In  numbering  o'er  the  richer  joys

To  him  who  merits  all  my  lovel

That  saved  a  wretch  like  me  ! 

1  once  was  lost,  but  now  I'm  found, 

Was  blind,  but  now  I  see. 

2  'Twas  grace  that  taught  my  heart  to 
And  grace  my  fears  relieved  ;  [fear, 

How  precious  did  that  grace  appear, 
The  hour  I  first  believed ! 

3  Through  many  dangers,  toils,    and 
I  have  already  come  ;  [snares, 


'Tis  grace  has  brought  me  safe  thus  far, 
And  grace  will  lead  me  home. 

4  The  Lord  has  promised  good  to  me ; 
His  word  my  hope  secures : 

He  will  my  shield  and  portion  be 
As  long  as  life  endures. 

5  Yea,  when  this  flesh  and  heart  shall 
And  mortal  life  shall  cease,  [fail, 

I  shall  possess,  within  the  veil, 
A  life  of  joy  and  peace.

Spirit  of  health,  remove, 
Spirit  of  finished  holiness, 
Spirit  of  perfect  love. 

3  Hasten  the  joyful  day 

Which  shall  my  sins  consume, 
When  old  things  shall  be  done  away, 
And  all  things  new  become. 


4  I  want  the  witness,  Lord, 

That  all  I  do  is  right, 
According  to  thy  will  and  word, 
Well-pleasing  in  thy  sight. 

5  I  ask  no  higher  state  ; 

Indulge  me  but  in  this  , 
And  soon  or  later  then  translate 
To  my  eternal  bliss.

2  Grant  one  poor  sinner  more  a  place  The  vow  is  past  beyond  repeal, 
Among  the  children  of  thy  grace  ;  And  now  I  set  the  solemn  seal. 
A  wretched  sinner,  lost  to  God,  4  Here,  atthat  cross  where  flows  the  blood 
But  ransomed  by  Immanuel's  blood.      That  bought  my  guilty  soul  for  God, 

3  Thine  would  I  live,  thine  would  I  die,  Thee,  my  new  master,  now  I  call, 
Be  thine  through  all  eternity ;  And  consecrate  to  thee  my  all.

2  Though,  like  the  wanderer, 

The  sun  gone  down, 
Darkness  be  over  me, 

My  rest  a  stone, 
Yet  in  my  dreams  I'd  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 

Nearer  to  thee  ! 

3  There  let  the  way  appear, 

Steps  unto  heaven : 
All  that  thou  sendest  me, 

In  mercy  given ; 
Angels  to  beckon  me 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 

Nearer  to  thee  1 

311       (SOVEREIGNTY)    L.  M. 

1  My  gracious  Lord,  I  own  thy  right 
To  every  service  I  can  pay ; 

And  call  it  my  supreme  delight 
To  hear  thy  dictates  and  obey. 

2  What  is  my  being  but  for  thee, — 
Its  sure  support,  its  noblest  end  ? 

'Tis  my  delight  thy  face  to  see, 

And  serve  the  cause  of  such  a  friend. 


265 


Then,  with  my  waking  thoughts 
Bright  with  thy  praise, 

Out  of  my  stony  griefs 
Bethel  I'll  raise ; 

So  by  my  woes  to  be 

Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee  1 

Or  if  on  joyful  wing 

Cleaving  the  sky, 
Sun,  moon,  and  stars  forgot, 

Upwards  I  fly, 
Still  all  my  song  shall  be, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 

Nearer  to  thee  1 

Sarah  F.  Adams 


3  I  would  not  sigh  for  worldly  joy, 
Or  to  increase  my  worldly  good ; 

Nor  future  days  nor  powers  en. ploy 
To  spread  a  sounding  name  abroad. 

4  'Tis  to  my  Saviour  I  would  live,  — 
To  him  who  for  my  ransom  died  ; 

Nor  could  all  worldly  honor  give 
Such  bliss  as  crowns  me  at  his  side.

In  death,  as  life,  be  thou  my  guide,

2  O'er  the  blest  mercy-seat, 

Pleading  for  me, 
My  feeble  faith  looks  up, 

Jesus,  to  thee : 
Help  me  the  cross  to  bear, 
Thy  wondrous  love  declare, 
Some  song  to  raise,  or  prayer, 

Something  for  thee. 


Give  me  a  faithful  heart  — 

Likeness  to  thee, 
That  each  departing  day 

Henceforth  may  see 
Some  work  of  love  begun, 
Some  deed  of  kindness  done, 
Some  wanderer  sought  and  won, 

Something  for  thee. 


All  that  I  am  and  have  — 
Thy  gifts  so  free  — 

In  joy,  in  grief,  through  life, 
Dear  Lord,  for  thee  : 

And  when  thy  face  I  see, 

My  ransomed  soul  shall  be, 

Through  all  eternity, 
Something  for  thee.

2   Breathe,  oh,  breathe  thy  loving  spirit, 

Into  every  troubled  breast  1 
Let  us  all  in  thee  inherit, 

Let  us  find  the  promised  rest : 
Come,  almighty  to  deliver, 

Let  us  all  thy  life  receive  1 
Suddenly  return,  and  never, 

Never  more  thy  temples  leave  !

1  Majestic  sweetness  sits  enthroned 

Upon  the  Saviour's  brow; 
His  head  with  radiant  glories  crowned, 
His  lips  with  grace  o'erflow. 

2  No  mortal  can  with  him  compare, 

Among  the  sons  of  men ; 
Fairer  is  he  than  all  the  fair 
That  fill  the  heavenly  train.

Finish  then  thy  new  creation, 

Pure  and  spotless  let  us  be ; 
Let  us  see  thy  great  salvation 

Perfectly  restored  in  thee  ! 
Changed  from  glory  into  glory, 

Till  in  heaven  we  take  our  place  ; 
Till  we  cast  our  crowns  before  thee, 

Lost  in  wonder,  love,  and  praise. 
Charles  Wesley 


To  him  I  owe  my  life  and  breath, 
And  all  the  joys  I  have ; 

He  makes  me  triumph  over  death. 
And  saves  me  from  the  grave. 

Since  from  his  bounty  I  receive 
Such  proofs  of  love  divine, 

Had  I  a  thousand  hearts  to  give, 
Lord,  they  should  all  be  thine.

1  Jesus,  the  very  thought  of  thee 
With  sweetness  fills  the  breast 
But  sweeter  far  thy  face  to  see, 
And  in  thy  presence  rest. 


Green  pastures  are  before  me, 

Which  yet  I  have  not  seen  ; 
Bright  skies  will  soon  be  o'er  me, 

Where  darkest  clouds  have  been 
My  hope  I  cannot  measure ; 

My  path  to  life  is  free ; 
My  Saviour  has  my  treasure, 

And  he  will  walk  with  me.

3  O  hope  of  every  contrite  heart, 
O  joy  of  all  the  meek, 
To  those  who  ask,  how  kind  thou  art  1 
How  good  to  those  who  seek  ! 

2  Nor  voice  can  sing,  nor  heart  can  frame,  4  But  what  to  those  who  find?  Ah,  this 
Nor  can  the  memory  find  Nor  tongue  nor  pen  can  show : 

A  sweeter  sound  than  thy  blest  name,       The  love  of  Jesus,  what  it  is, 
O  Saviour  of  mankind  !  None  but  his  loved  ones  know.

O  Sabbath  rest  by  Galilee  I 

O  calm  of  hills  above  ! 
Where  Jesus  knelt  to  share  with  thee 
The  silence  of  eternity, 

Interpreted  by  love. 

Drop  thy  still  dews  of  quietness, 

Till  all  our  strivings  cease  ;   [stress, 
Take  from  our  souls  the  strain  and 


And  let  our  ordered  lives  confess 
The  beauty  of  thy  peace. 

Breathe  through  the  heats  of  our  de- 

Thy  coolness  and  thy  balm  ;    [sire 

Let  sense  be  dumb,  let  flesh  retire  : 

Speak  through  the  earthquake,  wind, 

O  still  small  voice  of  calm  1    [and  fire,

Behold  my  heart,  and  see ; 
And  turn  the  dearest  idol  out 

That  dares  to  rival  thee. 


3  Would   not   my  heart  pour  forth  its 
In  honor  of  thy  name  ?  [blood 

And  challenge  the  cold  hand  of  death 
To  damp  the  immortal  flame  ? 

2  Is  not  thy  name  melodious  still  4  Thou  knowest  I   love   thee,  dearest 

To  mine  attentive  ear  ?  But,  oh,  I  long  to  soar  [Lord  ; 

Doth    not    each   pulse   with   pleasure  Far  from  the  sphere  of  mortal  joys, 
My  Saviour's  voice  to  hear?  [bound,       And  learn  to  love  thee  more.

Which  of  all  our  friends,  to  save  us, 
Could  or  would  have  shed  his  blood? 

But  our  Jesus  died  to  have  us 
Reconciled  in  him  to  God  : 

This  was  boundless  love  indeed  1 

Jesus  is  a  friend  in  need. 

When  he  lived  on  earth  abased, 
"Friend  of  sinners  "  was  his  name ; 

Now  above  all  glory  raised, 


He  rejoices  in  the  same. 
Still  he  calls  them  brethren,  friends, 
And  to  all  their  wants  attends. 
Oh,  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften  1 

Teach  us,  Lord,  at  length  to  love ; 
We,  alas  1  forget  too  often 

What  a  friend  we  have  above: 
But  when  home  our  souls  are  brought, 
We  will  love  thee  as  we  ought.

We  feel  the  resurrection  near, 

Our  life  in  Christ  concealed, 
And  with  his  glorious  presence  here 

Our  earthen  vessels  filled.

3  O  would  he  more  of  heaven  bestow, 
And  let  the  vessels  break, 
And  let  our  ransomed  spirits  go 

To  grasp  the  God  we  seek ; 
In  rapturous  awe  on  him  to  gaze, 
Who  bought  the  sight  for  me ; 
And  shout  and  wonder  at  his  grace, 
Through  all  eternity  1

2  To  thee,  thou  bleeding  Lamb,  I  all  things  owe  ; 
All  that  I  have  and  am,  and  all  I  know. 

All  that  I  have  is  now  no  longer  mine, 
And  I  am  not  mine  own  ;  Lord,  I  am  thine.

From  thee ;  or  gathered  gold,  or  any  power  ?

1  My  God,  my  life,  my  love, 

To  thee,  to  thee  I  call : 
I  cannot  live  if  thou  remove, 
For  thou  art  all  in  all. 

2  Thy  shining  grace  can  cheer 

This  dungeon  where  I  dwell: 
'Tis  paradise  when  thou  art  here ; 
If  thou  depart,  'tis  hell.

3  The  smilings  of  thy  face, 

How  amiable  they  are  ! 
'Tis  heaven  to  rest  in  thine  embrace, 
And  nowhere  else  but  there. 

4  Thou  art  the  sea  of  love, 

Where  all  my  pleasures  roll : 
The  circle  where  my  passions  move, 
And  center  of  my  soul.

i   O  love  divine,  how  sweet  thou  art ! 
When  shall  I  find  my  willing  heart 

All  taken  up  by  thee  ? 
I  thirst,  I  faint,  I  die  to  prove 
The  greatness  of  redeeming  love, 
The  love  of  Christ  to  me. 
2   Stronger  his  love  than  death  or  hell ; 
Its  riches  are  unsearchable  : 
The  first-born  sons  of  light 


In  loftiest  songs  of  sweetest  praise, 
I  would  to  everlasting  days 

Make  all  his  glories  known. 
Well,  the  delightful  day  will  come 
When  my  dear  Lord  will  bring  me  home, 

And  I  shall  see  his  face ; 
Then  with  my  Saviour,  brother,  friend. 
A  blest  eternity  I'll  spend, 

Triumphant  in  his  grace. 

Samuel  Medley 


Desire  in  vain  its  depths  to  see ; 
They  cannot  reach  the  mystery, 

The  length,  the  breadth,  and  height. 
God  only  knows  the  love  of  God : 
O  that  it  now  were  shed  abroad 

In  this  poor  stony  heart ! 
For  love  I  sigh,  for  love  I  pine ; 
This  only  portion,  Lord,  be  mine  I 

Be  mine  this  better  part !

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin : 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound, 

Make  and  keep  me  pure  within.

Freely  let  me  take  of  thee : 
Spring  thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity!

349      (COVENTRY)    CM. 

1  Dear  refuge  of  my  weary  soul, 

On  thee,  when  sorrows  rise, 
On  thee,  when  waves  of  trouble  roll, 
My  fainting  hope  relies. 

2  To  thee  I  tell  each  rising  grief, 

For  thou  alone  canst  heal ; 
Thy  word  can  bring  a  sweet  relief 
For  every  pain  I  feel. 


292 


But,  oh,  when  gloomy  doubts  prevail, 

I  fear  to  call  thee  mine ; 
The  springs  of  comfort  seem  to  fail, 

And  all  my  hopes  decline. 

Yet,  gracious  God,  where  shall  I  flee? 

Thou  art  my  only  trust ; 
And  still  my  soul  would  cleave  to  thee, 

Though  prostrate  in  the  dust.

As  we  journey,  let  us  sing ; 
Sing  our  Saviour's  worthy  praise, 
Glorious  in  his  works  and  ways. 

2  We  are  trav'ling  home  to  God, 
In  the  way  our  fathers  trod  : 
They  are  happy  now,  and  we 
Soon  their  happiness  shall  see.

3  Fear  not,  brethren,  joyful  stand 
On  the  borders  of  our  land : 
Jesus  Christ,  our  Father's  Son, 
Bids  us  undismayed  go  on. 

4  Lord,  obediently  we'll  go, 
Gladly  leaving  all  below; 
Only  thou  our  leader  be, 
And  we  still  will  follow  thee.

(VIGIL) 

If,  on  a  quiet  sea, 

Toward  heaven  we  calmly  sail, 
With  grateful  hearts,  O  God,  to  thee, 

We'll  own  the  favoring  gale. 

But  should  the  surges  rise, 

And  rest  delay  to  come, 
Blest  be  the  tempest,  kind  the  storm, 

Which  drives  us  nearer  home. 


296 


Lift  the  eye,  Christian, 

Just  as  it  closeth ; 
Raise  the  heart,  Christian, 

Ere  it  reposeth ; 
Thee  from  the  love  of  Christ 

Nothing  shall  sever; 
And,  when  thy  work  is  done, 

Praise  him  forever. 

Toseph  Stammers 


Soon  shall  our  doubts  and  fears 

All  yield  to  thy  control ; 
Thy  tender  mercies  shall  illume 

The  midnight  of  the  soul. 

Teach  us,  in  every  state, 
To  make  thy  will  our  own ; 

And  when  the  joys  of  sense  depart, 
To  live  by  faith  alone.

1  O  love  divine  1  that  stooped  to  share   1 
Our  sharpest  pang,  our  bitterest  tear, 

On  thee  we  cast  each  earth-born  care, 
We  smile  at  pain,  while  thou  art  near. 

2  Though  long  the  weary  way  we  tread,  2 
And  sorrow  crown  each  lingeringyear, 

No  path  we  shun,  no  darkness  dread, 
Our  hearts  still  whispering,  "  Thou 
art  near  1  " 

3  When  drooping  pleasure  turns  to  grief,  3 
And  trembling  faith  is  changed  to  fear, 

The  murmuring  wind,  the  quivering  leaf, 
Shall  softly  tell  us,  "  Thou  art  near  1 " 

4  On  thee  we  fling  our  burdening  woe,  4 
O  love  divine,  forever  dear ; 

Content  to  suffer  while  we  know, 
Living  and  dying,  thou  art  near  1

1  I  know  not  what  the  future  hath 
Of  marvel  or  surprise, 

Assured  alone  that  life  and  death 
His  mercy  underlies. 

2  And  so  beside  the  silent  sea 
I  wait  the  muffled  oar : 

No  harm  from  him  can  come  to  me 
On  ocean  or  on  shore. 

I  know  not  where  his  islands  lift 
Their  fronded  palms  in  air ; 

I  only  know  I  cannot  drift 
Beyond  his  love  and  care. 

And  thou,  O  Lord,  by  whom  are  seen 
Thy  creatures  as  they  be, 

Forgive  me  if  too  close  I  lean 
My  human  heart  on  thee.

From  lips  divine,  like  healing  balm 
To  hearts  oppressed  and  torn, 

The  heavenly  consolation  fell, 
"  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn." 

Unto  the  hopes  by  sorrow  crushed     2 

A  noble  faith  succeeds  ; 
And  life,  by  trials  furrowed,  bears 

The  fruit  of  loving  deeds. 

How  rich,  how  sweet,  how  full  of  3 
Our  human  spirits  are,    [strength 

Baptized  into  the  sanctities 
Of  suffering  and  of  prayer ! 

Yes,  heavenly  wisdom,  love  divine,     4 

Breathed  through  the  lips  which  said 
"O  blessed  are  the  hearts  that  mourn; 
They  shall  be  comforted." 

William  H.  Burleigh

1   O  thou  from  whom  all  goodness  flows, 
I  lift  my  soul  to  thee ; 
In  all  my  sorrows,  conflicts,  woes, 


Dear  Lord,  remember  me. 

If,  for  thy  sake,  upon  my  name 
Reproach  and  shame  shall  be, 

I'll  hail  reproach,  and  welcome  shame, 
If  thou  remember  me. 

When  in  the  solemn  hour  of  death, 

I  wait  thy  just  decree, 
Saviour,  with  my  last  parting  breath, 

I'll  cry,  "  Remember  me." 

And  when  before  thy  throne  I  stand, 

And  lift  my  soul  to  thee, 
Then,  with  the  saints  at  thy  right  hand, 

O  Lord,  remember  me.

If  I  must  weep  with  thee,

2  With  forbidden  pleasures, 

Would  this  vain  world  charm  ; 
Or  its  sordid  treasures 

Spread  to  work  me  harm  ;

Or,  in  darker  semblance, 

Cross-crowned  Calvary.

Sorrow,  toil,  or  woe ;

Fail  thy  hand  to  see ; 

Grant  that  I  may  ever

When  my  last  hour  cometh, 

Fraught  with  strife  and  pain, 
When  my  dust  returneth 

To  the  dust  again  ; 
On  thy  truth  relying, 

Through  that  mortal  strife, 
Jesus  take  me  dying, 

To  immortal  life.

Fadeth  to  shine  no  more  ; 
Work  while  the  night  is  dark'ning, 

When  man's  work  is  o'er. 

Work,  for  the  night  is  coming, 

Work  while  the  fields  are  white ; 
Work,  for  thy  sands  are  running, 

Work  while  hopes  are  bright. 
Gather  thy  sheaves  at  morning ; 

Rest  not  thy  hand  at  noon  ; 
Labor  and  strive  till  evening; 

Rest  when  daylight's  gone.

2   Stand  up  1  —  stand  up  for  Jesus  I 

The  trumpet  call  obey ; 
Forth  to  the  mighty  conflict, 

In  this  his  glorious  day : 
"  Ye  that  are  men,  now  serve  him," 

Against  unnumbered  foes ; 
Let  courage  rise  with  danger, 

And  strength  to  strength  oppose. 

38O      ( SILVER  STREET )     S.  M. 

1  Soldiers  of  Christ,  arise, 

And  put  your  armor  on,  [supplies 
Strong  in   the  strength  which  God 
Through  his  eternal  Son; 

2  Strong  in  the  Lord  of  Hosts, 

And  in  his  mighty  power, 
Who  in  the  strength  of  Jesus  trusts, 
Is  more  than  conqueror. 


Stand  up  1 —  stand  up  for  Jesus  I 

The  strife  will  not  be  long ; 
This  day,  the  noise  of  battle, 

The  next,  the  victor's  song; 
To  him  that  overcometh, 

A  crown  of  life  shall  be ; 
He  with  the  King  of  glory 

Shall  reign  eternally  1 

George  Duffield 


3  Stand  then  in  his  great  might, 

With  all  his  strength  endued, 
But  take,  to  arm  you  for  the  fight, 
The  panoply  of  God  : 

4  That,  having  all  things  done, 

And  all  your  conflicts  past, 
Ye  may  o'ercome,  through  Christ  alone, 
And  stand  entire  at  last.

Is  this  vile  world  a  friend  to  grace, 

To  help  me  on  to  God  ?

Increase  my  courage,  Lord ; 

SILVER  STREET    S.  M. 


I'll  bear  the  toil,  endure  the  pain, 

Supported  by  thy  word. 
Thy  saints  in  all  this  glorious  war 

Shall  conquer,  though  they  die: 
They  see  the  triumph  from  afar, 

By  faith  they  bring  it  nigh. 
When  that  illustrious  day  shall  rise 

And  all  thy  armies  shine 
In  robes  of  victory  through  the  skies, 

The  glory  shall  be  thine.

O  let  thy  chosen  few 

Awake  to  earnest  prayer; 

Their  covenant  again  renew, 
And  walk  in  filial  fear. 

Thy  Spirit  then  will  speak 
Through  lips  of  humble  clay, 


Till  hearts  of  adamant  shall  break, 

Till  rebels  shall  obey. 
Now  lend  thy  gracious  ear ;

Our  souls  on  thee  rely.

1  My  soul,  weigh  not  thy  life 

Against  thy  heavenly  crown ; 
Nor  suffer  Satan's  deadliest  strife 
To  beat  thy  courage  down. 

2  With  prayer  and  crying  strong, 

Hold  on  the  fearful  fight, 
And  let  the  breaking  day  prolong 
The  wrestling  of  the  night. 

3  The  battle  soon  will  yield, 

If  thou  thy  part  fulfill ; 
For  strong  as  is  the  hostile  shield, 
Thy  sword  is  stronger  still. 

4  Thine  armor  is  divine, 

Thy  feet  with  victory  shod ; 
And  on  thy  head  shall  quickly  shine 
The  diadem  of  God. 


1  My  soul,  be  on  thy  guard ; 

Ten  thousand  foes  arise  ; 
The  hosts  of  sin  are  pressing  hard 
To  draw  thee  from  the  skies. 

2  O  watch,  and  fight,  and  pray; 

The  battle  ne'er  give  o'er; 
Renew  it  boldly  every  day, 
And  help  divine  implore. 

3  Ne'er  think  the  victory  won, 

Nor  lay  thine  armor  down: 
The  work  of  faith  will  not  be  done, 
Till  thou  obtain  the  crown. 

4  Fight  on,  my  soul,  till  death 

Shall  bring  thee  to  thy  God ; 
He'll  take  thee,  at  thy  parting  breath, 
To  his  divine  abode.

2  Like  a  mighty  army 

Moves  the  church  of  God ; 
Brothers,  we  are  treading 

Where  the  saints  have  trod ; 
We  are  not  divided, 

All  one  body  we, 
One  in  hope  and  doctrine, 

One  in  charity.  —  Ref. 

3  Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 
But  the  church  of  Jesus 
Constant  will  remain ;

Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  church  prevail ; 

We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 
And  that  cannot  fail.  —  Ref. 

4  Onward,  then,  ye  people, 
Join  our  happy  throng, 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices 

In  the  triumph-song ; 
Glory,  laud,  and  honor, 

Unto  Christ  the  King; 
This  through  countless  ages 
Men  and  angels  sing. —  Ref.

O  Christian  brothers,  glorious 

Shall  be  the  conflict's  close ; 
The  cross  hath  been  victorious, 

And  shall  be  o'er  its  foes : 
Faith  is  our  battle-token  ; 

Our  Leader  all  controls  ; 
Our  trophies,  fetters  broken  ; 

Our  captives,  ransomed  souls.

Not  unto  us,  Lord  Jesus, 

To  thee  all  praise  be  due, 
Whose  blood-bought  mercy  frees  us, 

Has  freed  our  brethren  too. 
Not  unto  us  :  in  glory 

The  angels  catch  the  strain, 
And  cast  their  crowns  before  thee 

Exultingly  again.

'Mid  toil  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war,

Of  peace  for  evermore  ; 
Till  with  the  vision  glorious 

Her  longing  eyes  are  blest, 
And  the  great  church  victorious

Round  each  habitation  hovering,

For  a  glory  and  a  covering, 

Showing  that  the  Lord  is  near : 
Thus  deriving  from  their  banner 

Light  by  night,  and  shade  by  day, 
Safe  they  feed  upon  the  manna    [pray.

Well  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 

And  all  fear  of  want  remove: 
Who  can  faint,  while  such  a  river 

Ever  flows  their  thirst  to  assuage ; 
Grace,  which,  like  the  Lord  the  giver, 

Never  fails  from  age  to  age.

Mothers  cease  their  own  to  cherish ;

Lo  1  the  sacred  herald  stands, 

Welcome  news  to  Zion  bearing, 
Zion,  long  in  hostile  lands ; 

Mourning  captive, 
God  himself  shall  loose  thy  bands. 


3  God,  thy  God,  will  now  restore  thee; 

He  himself  appears  thy  friend  ; 
All  thy  foes  shall  flee  before  thee ; 

Here  their  boasts  and  triumphs  end  : 
Great  deliverance 

Zion's  King  will  surely  send. 


2   Has  thy  night  been  long  and  mourn- 
ful ?  4  Peace  and  joy  shall  now  attend  thee; 
Have  thy  friends  unfaithful  proved  ?       All  thy  warfare  now  is  past ; 
Have  thy  foes  been  proud  and  scornful,   God  thy  Saviour  will  defend  thee  ; 
By  thy  sighs  and  tears  unmoved  ?  Victory  is  thine  at  last : 

Cease  thy  mourning ;  All  thy  conflicts 

Zion  still  is  well  beloved.  End  in  everlasting  rest.

Did  we  in  our  own  strength  confide, 

Our  striving  would  be  losing ; 
Were  not  the  right  man  on  our  side, 

The  man  of  God's  own  choosing. 
Dost  ask  who  that  may  be? 
Christ  Jesus,  it  is  he ; 
Lord  Sabaoth  is  his  name, 
From  age  to  age  the  same, 

And  he  must  win  the  battle. 
And  though  this  world,  with  devils 
filled, 

Should  threaten  to  undo  us, 
We  will  not  fear,  for  God  hath  willed 

His  truth  to  triumph  through  us. 


33- 


The  prince  of  darkness  grim  — 
We  tremble  not  for  him  ; 
His  rage  we  can  endure, 
For  lo  I  his  doom  is  sure, 

One  little  word  shall  fell  him. 
That  word  above  all  earthly  powers — 

No  thanks  to  them  —  abideth ; 
The  Spirit  and  the  gifts  are  ours, 

Through  him  who  with  us  sideth. 
Let  goods  and  kindred  go, 
This  mortal  life  also ; 
The  body  they  may  kill, 
God's  truth  abideth  still, 

His  kingdom  is  forever.

The  joy  that  from  thy  presence  springs : 
To  spend  one  day  with  thee  on  earth 
Exceeds  a  thousand  days  of  mirth. 

2  Might  I  enjoy  the  meanest  place

Not  tents  of  ease,  nor  thrones  of  power, 
Should  tempt  my  feet  to  leave  thy  door.

God  is  our  shield,  he  guards  our  way 
From  all  assaults  of  hell  and  sin, 
From  foes  without,  and  foes  within.

Of  love,  we  offer  thee : 
Leaving  the  world,  thou  dost  but  part 

From  lies  and  vanity. 
Come  with  us ;  we  will  do  thee  good, 

As  God  to  us  hath  done ; 
Stand  but  in  him  as  those  have  stood 

Whose  faith  the  victory  won. 
And  when,  by  turns,  we  pass  away, 

As  star  by  star  grows  dim, 
May  each,  translated  into  day, 

Be  lost  and  found  in  him.

2   I  love  thy  Church,  O  God ! 
Her  walls  before  thee  stand, 
Dear  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye, 
And  graven  on  thy  hand. 


4  Beyond  my  highest  joy 

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways, 
Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise. 


3  For  her  my  tears  shall  fall,  5   Sure  as  thy  truth  shall  last, 

For  her  my  prayers  ascend ;  To  Zion  shall  be  given 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given,       The  brightest  glories  earth  can  yield. 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end.  And  brighter  bliss  of  heaven.

1  Like  Noah's  weary  dove, 

That  soared  the  earth  around, 
But  not  a  resting  place  above 
The  cheerless  waters  found, — 

2  O  cease,  my  wandering  soul, 

On  restless  wing  to  roam  ; 
All  the  wide  world,  to  either  pole, 
Has  not  for  thee  a  home. 


340 


Behold  the  ark  of  God, 
Behold  the  open  door  ; 

Hasten  to  gain  that  dear  abode, 
And  rove,  my  soul,  no  more. 

There,  safe  shalt  thou  abide, 
There,  sweet  shall  be  thy  rest, 

And  every  longing  satisfied, 
With  full  salvation  blest.

Where  God  appoints  to  hear  1  Through  this  dark  vale  of  tears,

1  How  sweet,  how  heavenly  is  the  sight,  3 

When  those  who  love  the  Lord 
In  one  another's  peace  delight, 
And  so  fulfil  his  word  1 

2  When  each  can  feel  his  brother's  sigh,  4

When  sorrow  flows  from  eye  to  eye, 
And  joy  from  heart  to  heart.

Lift  as  from  the  heart  of  one ; 
One  the  conflict,  one  the  peril, 

One  the  march  in  God  begun  : 
One  the  gladness  of  rejoicing 

On  the  far  eternal  shore, 
Where  the  one  Almighty  Father 

Reigns  in  love  for  evermore. 

S.  Baring-Gould,  tr. 


When, freefrom  envy, scorn,  andpride, 

Our  wishes  all  above, 
Each  can  his  brother's  failings  hide, 

And  show  a  brother's  love  ! 

Love  is  the  golden  chain  that  binds 

The  happy  souls  above; 
And  he's  an  heir  of  heaven  who  finds 

His  bosom  glow  with  love.

Of  his  redeeming  power, 

Which  saves  us  to  the  uttermost, 
Till  we  can  sin  no  more. 

6  Let  us  take  up  the  cross 
Till  we  the  crown  obtain ; 

And  gladly  reckon  all  things  loss, 
So  we  may  Jesus  gain.

Once  they  were  mourners  here  below, 
And  poured  out  cries  and  tears  ; 

They  wrestled  hard,  as  we  do  now, 
With  sins,  and  doubts,  and  fears. 

I  ask  them  whence  their  victory  came: 
They,  with  united  breath, 

Ascribe  their  conquest  to  the  Lamb, 
Their  triumph  to  his  death. 


They  marked  the  footsteps  that  he 
His  zeal  inspired  their  breast;  [trod; 

And,  following  their  incarnate  God, 
Possess  the  promised  rest. 

Our  glorious  Leader  claims  our  praise 
For  his  own  pattern  given ; 

While  the  long  cloud  of  witnesses 
Show  the  same  path  to  heaven.

2  Our  sacrifice  is  one; 

One  priest  before  the  throne, 
The  slain,  the  risen  Son, 

Redeemer,  Lord  alone  ;  [dead, 
Thou  who  didst  raise  him  from  the 
Unite  thy  people  in  their  Head. 

3  Oh,  may  that  holy  prayer, 

His  tenderest  and  his  last, 
His  constant,  latest  care 

432       (PETERBORO)     CM. 

1  Help  us  to  help  each  other,  Lord, 

Each  other's  cross  to  bear : 

Let  each  his  friendly  aid  afford, 

And  feel  his  brother's  care. 

2  Help  us  to  build  each  other  up, 

Our  little  stock  improve  : 
Increase  our  faith,  confirm  our  hope, 
And  perfect  us  in  love. 


349 


Ere  to  his  throne  he  passed, 
No  longer  unfulfilled  remain, 
The  world's  offence,  his  people's  stain! 
Head  of  thy  church  beneath, 

The  catholic,  the  true, 
On  all  her  members  breathe, 

Her  unity  renew; 
Then  shall  thy  perfect  will  be  done 
When  Christians  love  and  live  as  one. 
George  Robinson 

Up  into  thee,  our  living  Head, 

Let  us  in  all  things  grow; 
Till  thou  hast  made  us  free  indeed, 

And  spotless  here  below. 
Then  ,when  the  mighty  work  is  wrought, 

Receive  thy  ready  bride : 
Give  us  in  heaven  a  happy  lot 

With  all  the  sanctified.

Thou  wast  their  rock,  their  fortress,  and  their  might ; 

Thou,  Lord,  their  captain,  in  the  weli-fought  fight ; 

Thou,  in  the  darkness  drear,  their  one  true  light.     Alleluia  I 

O  may  thy  soldiers,  faithful,  true,  and  bold, 
Fight  as  the  saints  who  nobly  fought  of  old, 
And  win  with  them  the  victor's  crown  of  gold.     Alleluia  I 

O  blest  communion,  fellowship  divine  1 

We  feebly  struggle,  they  in  glory  shine ; 

Yet  all  are  one  in  thee,  for  all  are  thine.     Alleluia  1 

And  when  the  strife  is  fierce,  the  warfare  long, 

Steals  on  the  ear  the  distant  triumph-song, 

And  hearts  are  brave  again,  and  arms  are  strong.     Alleluia ! 

The  golden  evening  brightens  in  the  west ; 
Soon,  soon  to  faithful  warriors  cometh  rest ; 
Sweet  is  the  calm  of  paradise  the  blest.     Alleluia  I 

From  earth's  wide  bounds,  from  ocean's  farthest  coast, 
Through  gates  of  pearl  streams  in  the  countless  host, 
Singing  to  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.     Alleluia  1

Through  the  wave  that  drowns  the  foe.

1   My  God,  and  is  thy  table  spread  ? 

And  does  thy  cup  with  love  o'erflow? 
Thither  be  all  thy  children  led, 

And  let  them  all  its  sweetness  know. 


3  Why  are  its  dainties  all  in  vain 
Before  unwilling  hearts  displayed  ? 

Was  not  for  you  the  victim  slain  ? 
Are  you  forbid  the  children's  bread  ? 

2  Hail,  sacred  feast  which  Jesus  makes,  4  O  let  thy  table  honored  be, 

Rich  banquet  of  his  flesh  and  blood  !       And  furnished  well  with  joyful  guests ; 

Thrice  happy  he  who  here  partakes        And  may  each  soul  salvation  see 
That  sacred  stream,  that  heavenly  food  1     That  here  its  sacred  pledges  tastes.

Thou  fount  of  life  1  thou  light  of  men  1 
From  the  best  bliss  that  earth  imparts, 

We  turn  unfilled  to  thee  again. 

2   Thy  truth  unchanged  hath  ever  stood ; 

Thou  savest  those  that  on  thee  call ; 
To  them  that  seek  thee  thou  art  good, 

To  them  that  find  thee,  all  in  all. 


Come  to  the  throne  of  grace, 

Boldly  draw  near ; 
He  who  would  win  the  race 

Must  tarry  here ; 
Whate'er  thy  want  may  be, 
Here  is  the  grace  for  thee, 
Jesus  thy  only  plea, 

Come,  Christian,  come. 

Jesus,  we  come  to  thee, 

Oh,  take  us  in  1 
Set  thou  our  spirits  free  ; 

Cleanse  us  from  sin  1 
Then,  in  yon  land  of  light, 
Clothed  in  our  robes  of  white, 
Resting  not  day  nor  night, 

Thee  will  we  sing. 

Henry  Burton 


3  We  taste  thee,  O  thou  living  bread, 
And  long  to  feast  upon  thee  still ; 

We  drink  of  thee,  the  fountain  head, 
And  thirst  our  souls  from  thee  to  fill ! 

4  Our  restless  spirits  yearn  for  thee, 
Where'er  our  changeful  lot  is  cast ; 

Glad,  when  thy  gracious  smile  we  see, 
Blest,  when  our  faith  can  hold  thee  fast.

Wine  of  the  soul,  in  mercy  shed, 
By  whom  the  words  of  life  were  spoken, 
And  in  whose  death  our  sins  are  dead. 

2  Look  on  the  heart  by  sorrow  broken, 

Look  on  the  tears  by  sinners  shed ;

2  I  am  not  worthy  to  be  thought  thy  child, 

Nor  sit  the  last  and  lowest  at  thy  board ; 
Too  long  a  wanderer  and  too  oft  beguiled, 
I  only  ask  one  reconciling  word. 

3  One  word  from  thee,  my  Lord,  one  smile,  one  look, 

And  I  could  face  the  cold,  rough  world  again  ; 
And  with  that  treasure  in  my  heart  could  brook 
The  wrath  of  devils  and  the  scorn  of  men. 


4  I  hear  thy  voice ;  thou  bidd'st  me  come  and  rest ; 

I  come,  I  kneel,  I  clasp  thy  pierced  feet ; 
Thou  bidd'st  me  take  my  place,  a  welcome  guest 
Among  thy  saints,  and  of  thy  banquet  eat. 

5  My  praise  can  only  breathe  itself  in  prayer, 

My  prayer  can  only  lose  itself  in  thee ; 
Dwell  thou  for  ever  in  my  heart,  and  there, 

Lord,  let  me  sup  with  thee  ;  sup  thou  with  me.

2  Holy  Saviour,  who  in  meekness  3   Spread  thy  golden  pinions  o'er  them, 

Didst  vouchsafe  a  child  to  be,  Holy  Spirit  from  above; 

Guide  their  steps  and  help  their  weak-  Guide    them,     lead    them,    go    before 
ness,  them, 

Bless  and  make  them  like  to  thee.  Give  them  peace,  and  joy,  and  love: 

Bear  thy  lambs  when  they  are  weary     Temples  of  thy  glorious  Godhead, 

In  thine  arms  and  at  thy  breast ;  May  they  with  thy  presence  shine, 

Through  life's  desert,  dry  and  dreary,  And  immortal  bliss  inherit, 

Bring  them  to  thy  heavenly  rest.  And  for  evermore  be  thine.

(MERCY)    7.7-7.7 

Lord,  this  day  thy  children  meet 
In  thy  courts  with  willing  feet ; 
Unto  thee  this  day  they  raise 
Grateful  hearts  in  hymns  of  praise. 
Help  us  unto  thee  to  pray, 
Hallowing  our  happy  day; 
From  thy  presence  thus  to  win 
Hearts  all  pure,  and  free  from  sin.

All  our  pleasures  here  below, 
Saviour,  from  thy  mercy  flow: 
But  if  earth  has  joys  like  this, 
What  shall  be  our  heavenly  bliss  I 
Make,  O  Lord,  our  childhood  shine 
With  all  lowly  grace,  like  thine : 
Then  through  all  eternity 
We  shall  live  in  heaven  with  thee.

With  the  shepherd's  kindest  care,  Let  them  be  the  lion's  prey; 

All  the  feeble  gently  leading,  Let  thy  tenderness,  so  loving, 

While  the  lambs  thy  bosom  share;  Keep  them  all  life's  dang'rousway: 

2  Now,  these  little  ones  receiving,         4  Then,  within  thy  fold  eternal, 

Fold  them  in  thy  gracious  arm ;  Let  them  find  a  resting-place, 

There,  we  know,  thy  word  believing,  Feed  in  pastures  ever  vernal, 

Only  there,  secure  from  harm.  Drink  the  rivers  of  thy  grace.

2  I  wish  that  his  hands  had  been  placed  on  my  head, 

That  his  arm  had  been  thrown  around  me, 
And  that  I  might  have  seen  his  kind  look  when  he  said, 
"  Let  the  little  ones  come  unto  me." 

3  Yet  still  to  his  footstool  in  prayer  I  may  go, 

And  ask  for  a  share  of  his  love; 
And  if  I  thus  earnestly  seek  him  below, 
I  shall  see  him  and  hear  him  above, 

4  In  that  beautiful  place  he  has  gone  to  prepare 

For  all  who  are  washed  and  forgiven  : 
And  many  dear  children  shall  be  with  him  there 
For  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

5  But  thousands  and  thousands  who  wander  and  fall, 

Never  heard  of  that  heavenly  home, 
I  wish  they  could  know  there  is  room  for  them  all, 
And  that  Jesus  has  bid  them  to  come.

When  children  bless  and  praise  their  _                    .      ,      . 

Who  loves  the  youthful  race.  4  But  sweeter  far  the  dawn 

Of  piety  in  youth ;  [drawn, 

3  Sweet  is  the  dawn  of  day,  When  doubt  and  darkness  are  with- 

When  light  just  streaks  the  sky ;  Before  the  light  of  truth.

Salvation  through  Emmanuel's  Name;  And  hush  the  tempests  into  peace. 
To  distant  climes  the  tidings  bear,         3  And  when  our  labors  all  are  o'er, 
And  plant  the  Rose  of  Sharon  there.      Then  we  shall  meet  to  part  no  more;

With  flaming  zeal  your  breasts  inspire,  And  crown  our  Jesus  Lord  of  all.    [fall,

How  sweet  the  tidings  are  ! 
"  Zion,  behold  thy  Saviour  King ; 
He  reigns  and  triumphs  here." 

3  How  happy  are  our  ears, 

That  hear  the  joyful  sound,

2  Jesus !  the  name  to  sinners  dear, 
The  name  to  sinners  given ; 

It  scatters  all  their  guilty  fear ; 
It  turns  their  hell  to  heaven. 

3  Jesus  the  prisoner's  fetters  breaks, 
And  bruises  Satan's  head  ; 

Power  into  strengthless  souls  he  speaks, 
And  life  into  the  dead. 


The  arms  of  love  that  compass  me 
Would  all  mankind  embrace. 

5  His  only  righteousness  I  show, 
His  saving  truth  proclaim  : 

'Tis  all  my  business  here  below, 
To  cry,  "  Behold  the  Lamb  1  " 

6  Happy,  if  with  my  latest  breath 
I  may  but  gasp  his  name ; 


4  O  that  the  world  might  taste  and  see  Preach  him  to  all,  and  cry  in  death, 


The  riches  of  his  grace  !

And  all  our  wants  supply.

The  harvest,  truly,  Lord,  is  great,

1  Jesus,  thy  church,  with  longing  eyes, 
For  thine  expected  coming  waits : 

When  will  the  promised  light  arise, 
And  glory  beam  on  Zion's  gates  ? 


470       (CANONBURY)     L.  M. 

1   Look  from  thy  sphere  of  endless  day, 
O  God  of  mercy  and  of  might  I 

In  pity  look  on  those  who  stray, 
Benighted,  in  this  land  of  light. 


2   E'en  now,  when  tempests  round  us  fall,  2   In  peopled  vale,  in  lonely  glen, 
And  wintry  clouds  o'ercast  the  sky,        In  crowded  mart,  by  stream  or  sea, 

Thy  words  with  pleasure  we  recall,        How  many  of  the  sons  of  men 

And  deem  that  our  redemption's  nigh.       Hear  not  the  message  sent  from  thee  I 


3  O  come,  and  reign  o'er  every  land ; 
Let  Satan  from  his  throne  be  hurled, 

All  nations  bow  to  thy  command, 
And  grace  revive  a  dying  world. 

4  Teach  us,  in  watchfulness  and  prayer, 
To  wait  for  thine  appointed  hour ; 

And  fit  us,  by  thy  grace,  to  share 
The  triumphs  of  thy  conquering  power. 
William  H.  Bathurst 


3  Send  forth  thy  heralds,  Lord,  to  call 
The  thoughtless  young,  the  hardened 

A  scattered,  homeless  flock,  till  all  [old, 
Be  gathered  to  thy  peaceful  fold. 

4  Then  all  these  wastes,  a  dreary  scene, 
That  make  us  sadden  as  we  gaze, 

Shall  grow  with  living  waters  green, 
And  lift  to  heaven  the  voice  of  praise.

2  Awake,  awake,  put  on  thy  strength,  4  They  come,  they  come ;  thine  exiled 
Thy  beautiful  array ;  Where'er  they  rest  or  roam,    [bands, 

The  day  of  freedom  dawns  at  length,  Have  heard  thy  voice  in  distant  lands, 

The  Lord's  appointed  day.  And  hasten  to  their  home. 

3  Rebuild  thy  walls,  thy  bounds  enlarge,  5   Thus,  though  the  universe  shall  burn, 
And  send  thy  heralds  forth ;  And  God  his  works  destroy, 

Say  to  the  south, " Give  up  thy  charge!"  With  songs  thy  ransomed  shall  return, 
And,  "  Keep  not  back,  O  north  1 "  And  everlasting  joy.

1   Hasten,  Lord,  the  glorious  time, 

When,  beneath  Messiah's  sway, 
Every  nation,  every  clime, 

Shall  the  gospel  call  obey. 


3  Then  shall  wars  and  tumults  cease ; 

Then  be  banished  grief  and  pain ; 
Righteousness,  and  joy,  and  peace, 

Undisturbed,  shall  ever  reign. 


2   Mightiest  kings  his  power  shall  own;  4  Bless  we,  then,  our  gracious  Lord ; 

Heathen  tribes  his  name  adore  ;  Ever  praise  his  glorious  name ; 

Satan  and  his  host,  o'erthrown,  All  his  mighty  acts  record, 

Bound  in  chains,  shall  hurt  no  more.       All  his  wondrous  love  proclaim.

I  Hail  to  the  brightness  of  Zion's  glad  morning  1 


Joy  to  the  lands  that  in  darkness  have  lain  ! 
Hushed  be  the  accents  of  sorrow  and  mourning; 
Zion  in  triumph  begins  her  mild  reign. 

2  Hail  to  the  brightness  of  Zion's  glad  morning, 

Long  by  the- prophets  of  Israel  foretold ; 
Hail  to  the  millions  from  bondage  returning; 
Gentiles  and  Jews  the  blest  vision  behold. 

3  Lo,  in  the  desert  rich  flowers  are  springing ; 

Streams  ever  copious  are  gliding  along  ; 
Loud  from  the  mountain-tops  echoes  are  ringing ; 
Wastes  rise  in  verdure,  and  mingle  in  song. 

4  See,  from  all  lands,  from  the  isles  of  the  ocean, 

Praise  to  Jehovah  ascending  on  high ; 
Fallen  are  the  engines  of  war  and  commotion ; 
Shouts  of  salvation  are  rending  the  sky.

What  though  the  spicy  breezes 

Blow  soft  o'er  Ceylon's  isle ; 
Though  every  prospect  pleases, 

And  only  man  is  vile : 
In  vain  with  lavish  kindness 

The  gifts  of  God  are  strown ; 
The  heathen  in  his  blindness 

Bows  down  to  wood  and  stone. 

Shall  we,  whose  souls  are  lighted 
With  wisdom  from  on  high, 

Shall  we  to  men  benighted 
The  lamp  of  life  deny  ?

The  joyful  sound  proclaim, 
Till  earth's  remotest  nation 

Has  learned  Messiah's  name. 

Waft,  waft,  ye  winds,  his  story, 

And  you,  ye  waters,  roll, 
Till,  like  a  sea  of  glory, 

It  spreads  from  pole  to  pole : 
Till  o'er  our  ransomed  nature 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Redeemer,  King,  Creator, 

In  bliss  returns  to  reign.

To  be  for  such  a  slumber  meet !  May  such  a  blissful  refuge  be  1

That  Death  hath  lost  his  venomed  sting.  Waiting  the  summons  from  on  high.

No  fear,  no  woe,  shall  dim  that  hour

5  Asleep  in  Jesus  !  far  from  thee 
Thy  kindred  and  their  graves  may  be ; 
But  thine  is  still  a  blessed  sleep, 
From  which  none  ever  wakes  to  weep. 
Margaret  Mackay 

489       (HAMBURG)     L.  M. 

1   Why  should  we  start  and  fear  to  die? 

What  timorous  worms  we  mortals  arel 
Death  is  the  gate  to  endless  joy, 

And  yet  we  dread  to  enter  there. 


1  How  blest  the  righteous  when  he  dies ! 
When  sinks  a  weary  soul  to  rest, 

How  mildly  beam  the  closing  eyes, 
How  gently  heaves  the  expiring  breast! 

2  So  fades  a  summer  cloud  away; 
So  sinks  the  gale  when  storms  are  o'er; 

So  gently  shuts  the  eye  of  day; 
So  dies  a  wave  along  the  shore. 

3  A  holy  quiet  reigns  around, 
A  calm  which  life  nor  death  destroys ; 

And  naught  disturbs  that  peace  pro- 
found 
Which  his  unfettered  soul  enjoys. 

4  Life's  labor  done,  as  sinks  the  clay, 
Light  from  its  load  the  spirit  flies, 

While  heaven  and  earth  combine  to  say,  While  on  his  breast  I  lean  my  head, 
"How  blest  the  righteous  when  he       And  breathe  my  life  out  sweetly  there, 
dies  1 "  Anna  L.  Barbauld,  alt.  Isaac  Watts 

388 


2  The  pains,  the  groans,  the  dying  strife, 
Fright  our  approaching  souls  away; 

And  we  shrink  back  again  to  life, 
Fond  of  our  prison  and  our  clay. 

3  O  would  my  Lord  his  servant  meet, 
My  soul  would  stretch  her  wings  in 

haste, 
Fly  fearless  through  death's  iron  gate, 
Nor  feel  the  terrors  as  she  passed. 

4  Jesus  can  make  a  dying  bed 
Feel  soft  as  downy  pillows  are,

Thy  ceaseless  prayer  he  heard ; 
And  bade  thee  suddenly  remove 
To  thy  complete  reward.

Thou  dost  thy  Lord  proclaim, 

And  still  to  God  salvation  cry, 
Salvation  to  the  Lamb  1

In  ecstasies  of  praise, 
Long  as  eternal  ages  roll, 

Thou  seest  thy  Saviour's  face.

The  athlete  nearly  fell, 
Bare  all  he  could  endure, 

And  bare  not  always  well. 
But  he  may  smile  at  troubles  gone, 
Who  sets  the  victor-garland  on. 

3  No  more  the  foe  can  harm  ; 

No  more  the  leaguered  camp, 
And  cry  of  night-alarm, 

And  need  of  ready  lamp. 
And  yet  how  nearly  he  had  failed,— 
How  nearly  had  that  foe  prevailed  ! 


4  The  lamb  is  in  the  fold, 

In  perfect  safety  penned ; 
The  lion  once  had  hold, 

And  thought  to  make  an  end ; 
But  One  came  by  with  wounded  side, 
And  for  the  sheep  the  Shepherd  died. 

5  The  exile  is  at  home  1 

O  nights  and  days  of  tears, 
O  longings  not  to  roam, 

O  sins,  and  doubts,  and  fears, — 
What  matter  now  when,  so  men  say, 
The  King  has  wiped  those  tears  away  ? 


6  O  happy,  happy  bride  ! 

Thy  widowed  hours  are  past, 
The  Bridegroom  at  thy  side, 
Thou  all  his  own  at  last ! 
The  sorrows  of  thy  former  cup 
In  full  fruition  swallowed  up.

2  There  is  a  home  for  weary  souls         The  evening  shadows  quickly  fly, 
By  sin  and  sorrow  driven,  And  all  serene  in  heaven. 

When  tossed  on  life's  tempestuous  shoals      _,  ,  . 

Where  storms  arise  and  ocean  rolls,       4  There     fragrant     flowers     immortal 

And  all  is  drear ;  'tis  heaven.  A     .  ?loom' 

And  joys  supreme  are  given  ; 

3  There  faith  lifts  up  the  tearless  eye,       There  rays  divine  disperse  the  gloom, 
To  brighter  prospects  given  ;  Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb 

And  views  the  tempest  passing  by,         Appears  the  dawn  of  heaven.

504       (BETTER  LAND)     L.  M. 

1  There  is  a  land  mine  eye  hath  seen  3  Its  skies  are  not  like  earthly  skies, 
In  visions  of  enraptured  thought,  With  varying  hues  of  shade  and  light ; 

So  bright,  that  all  which  spreads  between  It  hath  no  need  of  suns  to  rise 
Is  with  its  radiant  glories  fraught.  To  dissipate  the  gloom  of  night. 

2  A  land  upon  whose  blissful  shore       4  There  sweeps  no  desolating  wind 
There  rests  no  shadow,  falls  no  stain;       Across  that  calm,  serene  abode  ; 

There  those  who  meet  shall  part  ao  more,  The  wanderer  there  a  home  may  find 
And  those  long-parted  meet  again.         Within  the  Paradise  of  God.

But  timorous  mortals  start  and  shrink 
To  cross  this  narrow  sea  ; 

And  linger,  shivering  on  the  brink, 
And  fear  to  launch  away.

And  see  the  Canaan  that  we  love 
With  unbeclouded  eyes  :  —

Stand  dressed  in  living  green ;  And  view  the  landscape  o'er,

1  On  Jordan's  stormy  banks  I  stand, 
And  cast  a  wishful  eye 

To  Canaan's  fair  and  happy  land, 
Where  my  possessions  lie. 

O  the  transporting  rapturous  scene, 
That  rises  to  my  sight  1 

Sweet  fields  arrayed  in  living  green, 
And  rivers  of  delight. 

2  O'er  all  those  wide-extended  plains 
Shines  one  eternal  day  ; 

There  God  the  Son  forever  reigns, 
And  scatters  night  away. 


No  chilling  winds,  or  poisonous  breath, 
Can  reach  that  healthful  shore  ; 

Sickness  and  sorrow,  pain  and  death, 
Are  felt  and  feared  no  more. 

3  When  shall  I  reach  that  happy  place, 

And  be  forever  blest  ? 
When  shall  I  see  my  Father's  face, 

And  in  his  bosom  rest  ? 
Filled  with  delight,  my  raptured  soul 

Would  here  no  longer  stay : 
Though  Jordan's  waves  around  me  roll, 

Fearless  I'd  launch  away.

All  our  sorrows  left  below, 

And  earth  exchanged  for  heaven.

There  evermore  the  angels  sit, 
And  evermore  do  sing. 
3   Thy  gardens  and  thy  gallant  walks     Jerusalem,  my  happy  home, 

Continually  are  green,  [flowers  Would  God  I  were  in  thee  I 

There  grow  such  sweet  and  pleasant     Would  God  my  woes  were  at  an  end, 
As  nowhere  else  are  seen.  Thy  joys  that  I  might  see  1 

405 


Thy  bulwarks  diamonds  square 
Thy  gates  are  of  right  orient  pearl, 

Exceeding  rich  and  rare. 
Thy  turrets  and  thy  pinnacles 

With  carbuncles  do  shine ; 
Thy  very  streets  are  paved  with  gold, 

Surpassing  clear  and  fine.

They  stand,  those  halls  of  Zion, 

All  jubilant  with  song, 
And  bright  with  many  an  angel, 

And  all  the  martyr  throng. 
The  Prince  is  ever  in  them, 

The  daylight  is  serene; 
The  pastures  of  the  blessed 

Are  decked  in  glorious  sheen. 
There  is  the  throne  of  David  ; 

And  there,  from  care  released, 
The  song  of  them  that  triumph, 

The  shout  of  them  that  feast ; 


406 


And  they,  who  with  their  leader 

Have  conquered  in  the  fight, 
Forever  and  forever 

Are  clad  in  robes  of  white.

Father,  if  'tis  thy  will, 
The  promise  of  that  faithful  word, 

E'en  here  to  me  fulfill. 
So  when  my  latest  breath 

Shall  rend  the  vale  in  twain, 
By  death  I  shall  escape  from  death, 

And  life  eternal  gain.

Knowing  as  I  am  known. 

How  shall  I  love  that  word, 
And  oft  repeat  before  the  throne, 

"  Forever  with  the  Lord  !  "

Amen,  so  let  it  be  ! 
Life  from  the  dead  is  in  that  word. 

'Tis  immortality.

2  He  sends  his  showers  of  blessing  down 
To  cheer  the  plains  below ; 

He  makes  the  grass  the  mountains  crown, 
And  corn  in  valleys  grow. 

3  His  steady  counsels  change  the  face 
Of  the  declining  year  ; 

He  bids  the  sun  cut  short  his  race, 
And  wintry  days  appear. 

4  His  hoary  frost,  his  fleecy  snow, 
Descend  and  clothe  the  ground ; 

519       (HOLLEY)     7.7.7.7 

1  Praise  to  God,  immortal  praise, 
For  the  love  that  crowns  our  days  1 
Bounteous  Source  of  every  joy, 
Let  thy  praise  our  tongues  employ. 

2  For  the  blessings  of  the  field, 
For  the  stores  the  gardens  yield ; 
For  the  fruits  in  full  supply, 
Ripened  'neath  the  summer  sky  ; 

3  All  that  spring  with  bounteous  hand 
Scatters  o'er  the  smiling  land ; 
All  that  liberal  autumn  pours 
From  her  rich,  o'erflowing  stores ; 


The  liquid  streams  forbear  to  flow, 
In  icy  fetters  bound. 

5  He  sends  his  word,  and  melts  the  snow ; 
The  fields  no  longer  mourn ; 

He  calls  the  warmer  gales  to  blow, 
And  bids  the  spring  return. 

6  The  changing  wind,  the  flying  cloud, 
Obey  his  mighty  word  : 

With  songs  and  honors  sounding  loud 
Praise  ye  the  sovereign  Lord. 

Isaac  Watts 


These  to  thee,  my  God,  we  owe, 
Source  whence  all  our  blessings  flow ; 
And  for  these  my  soul  shall  raise 
Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise. 

Should  thine  altered  hand  restrain 
The  early  and  the  latter  rain  ; 
Blast  each  opening  bud  of  joy, 
And  the  rising  year  destroy ; 

Yet  to  thee  my  soul  should  raise 
Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise ; 
And,  when  every  blessing's  flown, 
Love  thee  for  thyself  alone.

Fierce  is  our  subtle  foeman : 

The  forces  at  his  hand 
With  woes  that  none  can  number 

Despoil  the  pleasant  land  ; 
All  they  who  war  against  them, 

In  strife  so  keen  and  long, 
Must  in  their  Saviour's  armor 

Be  stronger  than  the  strong. 
So  hast  thou  wrought  among  us 

The  great  things  that  we  see  1 
For  things  that  are  we  thank  thee, 

And  for  the  things  to  be : 


To       seek      the       lost      for      thee. 


ta 


-r-r— r-t 

For  bright  hope  is  uplifting 

Faint  hands  and  feeble  knees, 
To  strive  beneath  thy  blessing 

For  greater  things  than  these. 
Lead  on,  O  love  and  mercy, 

O  purity  and  power; 
Lead  on  till  peace  eternal 

Shall  close  this  battle-hour  : 
Till  all  who  prayed  and  struggled 

To  set  their  brethren  free, 
In  triumph  meet  to  praise  thee, 

Most  Holy  Trinity.

Mourn  for  the  tarnished  gem  — 

For  reason's  light  divine,      [dem, 
Quenched  from  the  soul's  bright  dia- 

Where  God  had  bid  it  shine. 
Mourn  for  the  ruined  soul  — 

Eternal  life  and  light 
Lost  by  the  fiery,  maddening  bowl, 

And  turned  to  hopeless  night. 


Mourn  for  the  lost,  —  but  call, 

Call  to  the  strong,  the  free ; 
Rouse  them  to  shun  that  dreadful  fall, 

And  to  the  refuge  flee. 
Mourn  for  the  lost,  —  but  pray, 

Pray  to  our  God  above, 
To  break  the  fell  destroyer's  sway, 

And  show  his  saving  love.

Forever  with  the  Lord 

Forth  in  thy  name,  O  Lord,  I  go     . 

Forward  be  our  watchword      .     .     . 

From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies

Glory  to  God  whose  witness-train    . 
Glorious  things  of  thee  are  spoken 
Go,  labor  on,  spend  and  be  spent     . 
God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again 
God  bless  our  native  land  .... 
God  calling  yet  shall  I  not  hear  .     . 
God  in  the  gospel  of  his  Son  .     .     . 
God  is  love,  his  mercy  brightens 
God  is  the  refuge  of  his  saints     .     . 
God  moves  in  a  mysterious  way 
God  of  my  life,  whose  gracious  power 
God   speed  the  gospel,   O   Father,   in 

pity 

God  with  us,  O  glorious  name  .  .

Lo  1  God  is  here  :  let  us  adore      .     . 
Lo  1  he  comes  with  clouds  descending

Lord,  while  for  all  mankind  we  pray 
Lord,  with    glowing   heart    I'd    praise 

thee  ....     

Love  divine,  all  love  excelling 

Majestic  sweetness  sits  enthroned 
Mighty  God,  while  angels  bless  thee 
Mourn  for  the  thousands  slain     . 
More  love  to  thee,  O  Christ    .     . 
Must  Jesus  bear  the  cross  alone 
My  country,  'tis  of  thee      .     .     . 
My  dear  Redeemer  and  my  Lord 
My  faith  looks  up  to  thee  .     .     . 
My  former  hopes  are  fled  .     .     . 
My  God  and  Father,  while  I  stray 
My  God,  and  is  thy  table  spread 
My  God,  I  love  thee,  not  because 
My  God,  is  any  hour  so  sweet     . 
My  God,  my  life,  my  love  .     .     . 
My  God,  my  portion,  and  my  love
